Multiple inheritance is possible :
    /Python/ classes can inherit from multiple classes

/Java/ classes still _can't_ because, well, they are Java.  Jython is
"just" a Java program, but it is a program that allows the creation of
programs in a different language with a different set of rules.

As far as what sort of operations are allowed, only the stuff the JVM
allows is allowed.  Just as with C you are not allowed to derefence a
null pointer or divide by 0, neither does CPython allow you to do
that.

The capability of any given program is limited to the capabilities of
the underlying system, whether it is a software system (JVM, OS, etc)
or a hardware system (the CPU/FPU can't divide by 0 anyways).
