Jython is Python on Java.

Emacs.

Which BTW is just great for python programming  - not only do you have
an embedded interactive python shell - the default one or IPython -  but
much more, you can with a simple keystroke eval either the whole buffer
or a selected block in this embedded shell. Could'nt live without it no
more !-)

(and you have ecb if you want a file/class browser)

But learning other languages might be a good idea too (even if once
spoiled by Python, if can be quite frustrating).
