I'm not sure how to read this.  Has something
changed so that "a python module" is somehow
inherently available to both of CPython and
Jython simultaneously?  There was a time when
that was not automatic.

In particular, I generally consider smushing
C-coded modules in with Java stuff (that is,
using JNI) a non-trivial task.  My answer would
be, "No, you can't use PIL from Jython without
substantial work."

Pure-Python modules are, of course, mostly fine.
