Good use for Jython

Just as many on this list, my favorite development
tool/language/environment is Python. However as nice as it is, there are
many frameworks and business applications that is written and packaged
in Java (i.e. X25 comms Libraries, log4J *before* python brought out
logging) _OR_ has a Java remote interface that must be accessed (EJB
/JMS / RMI etc...) _OR_ has a library you prefer to use of over the
python implementation (not a lot of those).

Jython allows one to use these packages using ones language of choice :)

Thanks Jython
