+Jython is an implementation of the Python programming language written
+in Java. Jython programs can use any Java class, and includes almost
+all modules in standard Python.
+
+Jython is able to compile Python source code down to Java bytecodes
+which can then run directly on a JVM; it also includes a set of
+libraries which are used by the compiled Java bytecodes and extra
+support to make it easy to use Java packages from within Jython.
