I got curious about Dalvik, and was looking at the Wikipedia page,
where it says that programs for Android are compiled into bytecode in
JVM compatible .class files. Those files are then converted into .dex
files to run on Davlik.
I don't know much at all about Jython, but if it generates JVM byte
code, mightn't the same conversion to .dex be applicable?
