Oops, didn't see this:

.. so apparently the topic has been discussed already, sorry.

BTW: Does no response to the above post imply there are difficulties in doing a Jython->Android port? Or simply that there is no interest?

Well, a lot of buzz has started up over the GPhone, and the Android SDK:

The SDK apparently is Java based.  So I wondered: could a port of Jython be made to the Android SDK?

Note that the JVM is not actually a Java byte code VM but the Dalvik virtual machine, Google's VM which may eventually work for languages other than Java.

BTW: A Jython port may actually be worth money!  There's a "challenge" going on shortly that could be a good incentive for such a port:
