This is referring to the line "def init(self):".  PyServlet uses
'servlet.init(getServletConfig());', so this is expected.  Using the
parameterless init() is impossible as is.

This error is referring to
"javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.init(self,config)" not the same
"def init" line as above.

I thought it might help to point out that the two errors are
unrelated.

If PyServlet invoked the parameterless init "servlet.init();" on the
Jython class, then it seems likely that getInitParameters and
getInitParameterNames still work, and the config would be available
with getServletConfig.  If that works, would people be ok with pre-2.1
servlet being out of luck?
