No. Not yet, at least. Jython lacks the bzip module, although we (Jython developers) hope it will be implemented on the 2.5 final release (which is planned for January). Then someone would have to port the few but important bits which are written in C to Java. And as Charles Oliver Nutter (JRuby lead) said[1], this is a quite interesting and useful work, for anyone who is interested.
