You might talk to some of the people at the Diamond Synchrotron facility in the UK. They are using it to allow scripting for control of their instrumentation. In my own use, I do remember there being some annoyances with getting a ^C into a text based client we were working on (from java), but that might have just been me. Also, I would suggest being careful with the possibility of memory leaks when calling java from jython (sorry, can't remember the details now).
