Okay. I got that working. But this brings me back to my original problem:
I have a Python class that subclasses a Java class in a package. How do I
tell Python that it can access that package's attributes?

When I compile the Python class with jythonc I use the --package option
and can see that the .java file created does have the correct package
statement but I still cannot see the super's attributes.

Isn't that problematic?
