You can use:
dir(o)
dir(o.__class__)

It's called thread.start_new_thread()
(http://www.python.org/doc/current/lib/module-thread.html)

You can use execfile().
(http://www.python.org/doc/current/lib/built-in-funcs.html)

>3) Will someone point me in the right direction to do SSL in Jython.

That's more difficult: in jython you're limited to what java can
offer you, and I don't recall having secure sockets in java.net.
You might try to find any java implementation of secure sockets.

Good luck,
