I know this isn’t exactly breaking news but it is further evidence that Sun is aiming to turn the JVM in a language agnostic platform. It’s also good news for the Jython project which has suffered a long period of hibernation and which has fallen far behind CPython in terms of its compatibility.

I like Python as a language and its clarity is great for one time scripts (which never really are). I would really like it to be a full member of the JVM-compatibles.
