I'm very interested in this, too. There are two things that force me into writing Java code instead of Python code, and they are:

1) The Java plug-in for Web browsers, and 2) The integrated portable fairly capable Swing GUI. And 2 + the JRE and jar files ease distribution of apps, something else that Python needs to address.

Python eggs and easy_install seem to have that problem well in hand, so that's not as big of an issue.

Figuring out how to build a sandbox that is: a) actually secure b) usable for the application author c) usable for the plugin writer d) portable to at least Windows, Linux, Solaris, *BSD and Mac OS X

is significantly trickier, because current solutions all fail one or more of those 4 criteria, and it isn't clear which (if any) would make an appropriate starting point for doing it right.

Cheers, Nick.
