Sure - but I doubt that this would keep compiled jython code working - 
it's still highly dynamic (otherwise much of the funtionality of jython 
would have to vanish, rendering compiling it moot...) - thus there 
wouldn't be much obfuscating going on, or things break. For example a 
method like

def foo(self, arg):
    return getattr(self, arg)

would forbid renaming any methodname - as otherwise the passed arg can't 
be possibly working anymore. Only statically compiled references are 
allowed to be renamend - that would probably mainly apply to the Jython 
api itself. Hooray....
