In theory I agree.  But in practice I (and perhaps others) live in a
Java-dominated world.  Corporate direction is very J2EE, with all the
XML complexification IBM nd SUN can throw at Web Services.  So I need
Python to play well with Java and vice versa.  Jython is not the
answer for us (we need lots of CPython extensions).

JPE is the right idea for us:

What's the status?  Any chance of a tarball (cvs is not acceptable
here)?
