Thanks for these suggestions. To be clear, we already have a Python 2.4 minimum requirement for other reasons, and we are looking for a long-term solution so that as Python advances, the scripting solution can keep up in a timely way.
Since the Java code is for a very large, complex application, we need to bring Python to Java rather than Java to Python. We will take a look at some of the other ideas. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
