Ahh; I didn't know this was available; it would be nice, but from my 
testing it looks like the Jython interpreter needs to be initialized too 
? That is really too much to ask of someone just using, for example, my 
'Strings' library.

So for now I will go back to my old method of wrapping every java 
function with a python function just to get the __doc__  for Jython users.

This would work better for me; the multiple-double-underscores seem like 
enough 'paranoia' for me .. ;^)

But thanks for the info, it makes sense [and gives me a clue to 
'hacking' up my version if I get tired of wrapping functions .. 8^) ]
