Modules.  Function objects.  _Completely_ OO (int, boolean, modules,
classes, and functions are all objects, not just class instances).
Easier syntax.  High level of design in the language and runtime
libraries.  No casting when using containers.  Edit-run as opposed to
edit-compile-run cycle.

In short, Python has a _lot_ that Java doesn't have.  Jython is an
implementation of Python written in Java so that it runs in a JVM and
provides nice integration between Python and Java similar to what
CPython does for C and Python.
