You don't need it.  Jython is pure java code and so it all you need are Java
and the Jython class files.  You get a mostly compatible Python interpreter
that is able to import and use java packages and classes as if they were
Python classes.  It's very convenient for embedding scriptable capabilites
in a Java application, but it could also be used for standalone Jython
applications.

The downside however, (in my experience on Windows and Linux anyway) is that
it is much slower than CPython, especially when doing Swing-based GUIs from
JPython.  That may have changed since I last did it though, it's been a
while.
