I'm not treating it that way any more than calling a python script portable does.  Python claims the same portability that Sun claims of Java.  I have heard of a few problems Java had in being portable,  but the goal is there and will hopefully be reached in the near future.  Java is nicer than C in some respects,  but doesn't provide the low-level access needed for system programming/device drivers.
