Given the bizarre netbsd(?) jail the Lucene Java bot is setup in, I can't imagine a multi OS x multi Java x multi Python build bot to materialize anytime soon. That being said, I really don't know what is and isn't available as infrastructure from the ASF for these kinds of things so I might be completely wrong here.
