Just a quick clarification. Jython definitely compiles to byte code. It
can also compile a python file to a java .class file. The idea being
that you can use java classes in python and also the other way round. I
haven't kept up with jython too well lately, so it might also be able to
generate a .java equivalent of a .py file which might be why it looks
like it generates java source code.
