Oh, so you simply import java packages in the same way you import python packages? That's a pretty transparent mechanism. Thanks for the clarifications!

I suppose that this is more "Python (the language) for other systems" more than "Python (the environment) for other systems". Is any of the standard library supported given this import scenario?

The full standard library is a work in progress; at the moment, there's only a couple of key parts of sys, os, and the like. But Ouroboros (https://github.com/pybee/ouroboros) is a project to develop a full standard library that can be integrated into any Python implementation. Effectively, you can use all the bits of the standard library that are written in Python by just compiling them; the rest requires native integration (which is the work in progress).
