It will work, but you might need to be careful with sys.modules.
Almost a month ago there was some discussion on isolating PythonInterpreters
and later on import being thread safe or not.
Have a look at the archives of jython-dev. The opening message of
11 Feb 2002 had the title:
"[Jython-dev] Static usage in jython - can we have less of it?"
And on 12 Feb: "[Jython-dev] Thread safeness"
Have fun,
