Hmm... I didn't know that... I always assumed that programs for 
regular Python and JPython would be compatible...?

I see the problem... not the solution, though, because I don't know 
much (anything, actually) about JPython. :^( I wonder, if JPython 
doesn't have 'self', how can you call another method from within a 
method? Things like this

def method1(self, a):
    self.methodb(a+1)

would not be possible. There must be a way around this... (looks 
expectantly at JPython guru(s))
