Here's what the Python docs say about the 'copyright' builtin:
http://docs.python.org/library/constants.html#constants-added-by-the-site-module
As pbreit pointed out, compileapp.py includes:
is_jython = settings.global_settings.is_jython = 'java' in
sys.platform.lower() or hasattr(sys, 'JYTHON_JAR') or
str(copyright).find('Jython') > 0
I wonder if we need the 'copyright' check -- isn't 'java' in
sys.platform.lower() a sufficient check for Jython (that's the same check
performed by the Python 'site' module to determine whether to display the
Jython credits).
