Right, 'cause the task was not already difficult enough,
so better put jython into the equation! Makes sense... :P

lxml is (partially) a C python module. I don't remember how Jython works
with these.

My only idea is crazy and already disproved by a fast test I made:
while I did swear some time ago that the keys used by the
Movie/Person/... classes
to store information are strings (besided the few cases where they are instances
of other objects), the truth is that many times they are unicode.
Not that it could (should?) create any problem, but I noticed that for 'mobile'
some are strings and some are unicode (u'actor' is unicode)
The same is true for 'http', but in that case 'actor' is a string... :-/
Another absolutely crazy option: is it possible that in the environments
you're using (jython and the "normal" python), there's a proxy used in one
an not in the other? (i.get_proxy() should tell you).
And, by the way, how does Jython and its PythonInterpreter share
memory, if they do? "i" is a very common variable name... ;-)
Ok, I'm officially out of ideas. :D
