Basically, it would be to use code that's already written in Java. The  
Jython part wouldn't be expected to be fast :-)

As for what Stefan said aboud losing cdef-stuff -- I'll take his word  
for the coupling between Cython and C, but the syntax would be just as  
useful for type declarations for Java (but with a completely different  
translator then, I guess :-)
