I think it has to do with the fact that Jython does dynamic class generation and loading. Similarly I don't think JBoss or Tomcat could be ported easily to Dalvik without making lots of changes to the class loading stuff. But I know nothing about Java, so I could be way wrong here. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
