> ...Jython... Which is Java with Python syntax...

  No. Jython is a full implementation of Python in Java. Last I collided with it, it was terribly slow, but that is not the point here. Some of these alternative implementations are very interesting. PyPy is JIT'ed, and insanely fast compared to CPython. IronPython, IIRC, has no GIL.
