Hi Giorgio,

I've started with Jython as I wanted to run in a pure-Java environment, 
but it'll probably be possible to adapt the Java implementation 
extension to native Python later if people want to try that out.

When I need to run native Python, right now I'm using the code in the 
SCA native runtime project (see [1][2][3]).
