I guess you don't need to wory about the  depreciated methods (yet!) lets 
try getting it working first...

To elimimate robocode from the equation create a robocode.py file like so:-



################### code ##################


class Robot:        
    def ahead(self, value):
        print 'Ahead', value
        
    def turnGunRight(self, value):
        print 'turnGunRight', value
        
    def back(self, value):
        print 'Back', value
        
    def fire(self, value):
        print 'Fire', value

################### end code ##################
        
next your code:

################### code ##################
from robocode import *
class pyrobot(Robot):
   def run(self):
      for n in range(5):
         self.ahead(100)
         self.turnGunRight(360)
         self.back(100)
         self.turnGunRight(360)
   def onScannedRobot(self, event):
      self.fire(1)




if __name__=='__main__':
    myrobot=pyrobot()
    myrobot.run()

################### end code ##################


Ok so i've made a small change (no while 1 loop!) and i've added the magic 
if __name__ thing so I can execute it like so:-


Standard Cpython:-

[bpse at m-franklin Jscripts]$ python pyrobot.py
Ahead 100
turnGunRight 360
Back 100
turnGunRight 360
Ahead 100
turnGunRight 360
Back 100
turnGunRight 360
[bpse at m-franklin Jscripts]$

Now jython :-

[bpse at m-franklin Jscripts]$ jython pyrobot.py
Ahead 100
turnGunRight 360
Back 100
turnGunRight 360
Ahead 100
turnGunRight 360
Back 100
turnGunRight 360
[bpse at m-franklin Jscripts]$


Now compile it to java:-

[bpse at m-franklin Jscripts]$ ls -la
total 28
drwxrwxr-x    3 bpse     bpse         4096 Sep 13 11:38 .

now execute it with java:-

[bpse at m-franklin Jscripts]$ cd jpywork/
[bpse at m-franklin jpywork]$ export CLASSPATH=/usr/python/Jython/jython.jar:./
[bpse at m-franklin jpywork]$ java pyrobot
Ahead 100
turnGunRight 360
Back 100
turnGunRight 360
Ahead 100
turnGunRight 360
Back 100
turnGunRight 360
[bpse at m-franklin jpywork]$


I guess what i'm trying to say is if you get this working there nothing 
wrong with the jython/python side of things and I am at a loss as to what 
is happening (I don't know what robocode is :-( sorry)
