Short answers - yes, no, and not many, respectively.

Longer answer - there are a few minor inconsistencies, but nothing major.
Nothing that you unit test won't find. You *do* have unit tests, don't you?
<wink>.

A *very* few of the modules in the standard library aren't available for
Jython, but I have never been caused a problem. YMMV.

For full details, see <http://jython.sourceforge.net/docs/differences.html>.
