Scott,
the problem with Python compilation is optimization; you can "freeze" a
python program into an executable even now. I heard it somewhere that
compiled Python would consist of nothing more than calls to Python's C
API. Granted, that shaves off the interpreter layer, but you're still
going through the P-API. I suspect it is the same way in JPython
(given that JPython implements the Python API in Java, am I right? (?))..
