BTW, what's the policy wrt. Jython-specific modules in the standard library?

I don't think there is enough precedence to have a policy. So far, the only places that explicitly support Jython is the test suite, pickle, and platform (I wouldn't really count in site here).

If the portability problem can be solved by checking things into Jython instead, I think I would prefer that. Then having in CPython an import that only succeeds for Jython would be fine.
