Urm, I think you may be misunderstanding Jython. Jython is an implementation of
the Python language in Java rather than C, as used by normal python.

So, as such, Jython is only as client-side as python is. 

However, you can't run Zope on Jython because Zope requires several C-Extensions
to Python which wouldn't work under Jython.
