Well, I know I'd like to see it happen, but I'm pretty sure there'd be
some difficulties.  Jython emits bytecode for the JVM directly.  I
think the Dalvik VM that Android is using has a completely different
bytecode format, so the code Jython makes would have to be retrofitted
for that in addition to just compiling Jython for Dalvik.  How hard
that would be, I can't say.
