Jython on the Palm OS?

[gregarican]

I have completed recoding my CRM app into Python so that it will run on
Win32, ARM Linux, and ARM Windows Mobile platforms. Now I am looking to
try to roll it into the Palm OS platform. Since Pippy is based on an
older version of Python than I am using for my other implementations I
was thinking about using Jython. Would this be a viable option for the
Palm OS platform? I installed IBM Websphere Everywhere Micro
Environment on a test Palm Tungsten C I have, but didn't see this JVM
listed on the Jython compatibility list. So I am heading down a blind
alley I suppose?

While someone has recently done some work to get Jython working with J2ME
(reference below), I think its targetted at Pocket PC class devices (CDC spec)
as opposed to palm (CLDC as far as i know).

Thanks for the link. Since my app isn't too complex I am going to try
to deploy it using SuperWaba on the Palm OS. I downloaded an Eclipse
plug-in for in and see there's an XMLRPC extension available for
SuperWaba as well. This the communications method I use for my app so
we'll see how it goes!
