One thing to keep in mind is that Jython does not
integrate CPython, instead it "understands" python code
directly. So if you have a C extension that works with python
it won't work with Jython.
Also, Jython is several versions behind CPython, so any Python code
that uses generators or new-style division won't work either.
My feeling is that if you had a lot of Java code written and
wanted to build on that with python Jython would be a better
fit than vice versa.
I agree.
Also let's not forget that the PSF has funded a project that's intended
to help Jython get up to the curve - see
http://www.python.org/psf/grants/Jython_PSF_Grant_Proposal.pdf. If that
project succeeds, and if 2.5 development *does* focus mostly on the
library, there's a sporting chance that Jython can be fully up to date
for the 2.5 release.
