This is possible, to some extent.  Take a look at the 'jythonc'
program that comes with jython.  This sort of thing only works as far
as Python's and Java's object/class model overlaps.  For example, you
can't create Java-static methods in a Python class, nor can you
(easily) access Python-module level data from Java.  You can, however,
have constructors and instance methods and the Java will never know it
is really invoking the Jython interpreter on some Python code.
