Awesome post. Thanks. And ouch.

Sounds like heavy lifting. That bytecode stuff sounds sticky (hadn't even heard of that low a level of stuff before). I still think its an obvious win, but I can see where it may just be way hard.

Some easier wins might be to: * Make a Java servlet that can funnel requests to Zope via PCGI or FastCGI * Make a Zope Product that can run servlets or other Java classes via JNI (there already exist some C-based interfaces to Java from Python) These could provide the desired Java interoperability without requiring a rewrite of Zope proper. Sure, it's not "100% Java", but as somebody else has pointed out, CPython can run pretty much anywhere Java can anyhow.
