Yeah, the definition of "JAR" is Java ARchive, why the hell would a 
Python script be able to read a JAR in the first place (truth is it is, 
a JAR file is nothing but a renamed ZIP, therefore the zipfile module 
allows you to read it's content) and -- more importantly -- import Java 
classes.

Notice the difference between *Python* script and *Java* class? That's 
because they're two different languages.
If you want to use Java classes and modules in a Pythonic context, you 
want Jython (http://www.jython.org/) not Python (http://www.python.org/)
