Jython

  File "<string>", line None
SyntaxError: Illegal character in file 'test.py' for encoding 'utf-8'

The file is executed by cpython without problem (the cpython lexer
refuses only \r characters in # comments)

For a practical application, some scripts such as Waf use embedded
binary data (bzip2) to ease script redistribution
(http://code.google.com/p/waf).

New submission from tzellman <tzellman+jython@...>:

I am using the Jython 2.5 release posted on SourceForge.
I am embedding the interpreter inside my Java code. 

Code that worked perfectly under Jython 2.2 is now failing with an
ImportError. Jython is failing to find Java-based modules after I import
* from a parent package. For example:

from my.java.package import *
from my.java.package.checks import *
from my.java.package.actions import *

Jython fails with this error message:
"ImportError: No module named checks"

If I instead strip out the * imports and import objects directly from
the modules, everything works normally.

A little more insight into what I am doing: I create the interpreter,
then pass it a string of Python code that essentially loads a
directory/module where Jython plug-in scripts are located. Those scripts
then import java modules available within the current Java process.
