I agree. We are writing a large distributed object system in Java.
Traditionally connecting to the system to get data out has been by writing
a pretty complicated Java program. However with JPython I can write Python
code to access any part of the system. I have a few wrappers to turn things
into dictionaries, but once they are included I can write 10 line programs
which do useful stuff. That's just AWESOME.
