It should be noted that Jim Hugunin no longer works on Jython although he did start the project (possibly with others, I'm not sure).
. . . Mostly he started it with others discouraging him, arguing, "*That*'s one project that'll never fly."
Short story at http://hugunin.net/story_of_jython.html from Jim himself. :)
Just a little further background. The Python Software Foundation recently awarded a grant to help to bring Jython into line with the current CPython release.
Jim Hugunin now works for Microsoft, and hopes to promote Python as a full member of the .NET environment. He'll be speaking at PyCon DC 2005 in March this year, and I hope that his talk will include some details of his experiences at Microsoft (though that's entirely up to Jim).
