I read it and understood it just fine. My question was meant more along the lines of, "Are you SURE it compiles to Java bytecode, and isn't a Python interpreter written in Java?" I guess I didn't make that clear. Anyway, I checked the Jython home page, and sure enough, Jython compiles Python code to Java bytecode, as stated in the FAQ which can be found at the following URL (in case anyone else reading this message is following along and is interested): http://www.jython.com/Project/userfaq.html#what-is-jython In particular: 1.1 What is Jython? Jython implements the Python programming language on the Java(tm) Platform. It consists of a compiler to compile Python source code down to Java bytecodes which can run directly on a JVM, a set of support libraries which are used by the compiled Java bytecodes, and extra support to make it trivial to use Java packages from within Jython. Sorry if I bothered/annoyed you, Steve. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
