Not __really__, servlets are just code running on the server, but they 
aren't the server themselves.  Think of them as souped-up CGI scripts, 
without the forking penalty (except on the first request).  You can do 
similar things in straight Python with many of the application servers 
like Zope or Webware, or you could use Jython.

The most direct way that I know of would be Jython, a good book to 
pickup if you are working with Java and (J|P)ython, or just want to 
learn Jython, is _Jython_for_Java_Programmers_ .  The first part is an 
intro to Jython and the rest is various ways to call one from the other 
and integration; including servlets (pages 368-371).

I've seen reference to a way to call Java from Python, but I've never 
used it...and I don't know where you can download it from...but it is 
out there...somewhere...I think...maybe.
