I almost tried to do that.  Actually, all I want is the object
database.  I need a java db and I can't find one faster than catsup.
I've found a couple faster than molasses and a couple slower, but I'd
like one that is quick and wondered if the db suupplied with zope
(whose name escapes me right now) is faster.  

Anyway, I was just about to try that when I got put on another
project, but I hope to get back to it.

Just about every embedded device nowadays is claiming java support.
For instance, Scientific Atlanta can run it on their set top boxes.
I haven't heard any suck claims for python, though I bet the port
would be easy.
