Yes. If you're into killer apps, try out Zope. But it does have a learning curve. There are probably a dozen or so alternatives that are all "smaller and quicker to learn". > 2.

It's called "Jython" actually, and this is a FAQ at http://www.jython.org which you should visit. Jython also has its own mailing list, which is why you don't see so much talk about it in this newsgroup (though people do mention it now and again -- many questions are the same in any Python implementation). In brief, however, you'd use Python with Java for the same reason so many people with C background use Python instead of programming in C.
