Both approaches sound the same, just a matter of how the app is
distributed in the end.

Some things I've noticed :

    o   jython code is easier to write than java
    o   jythonc isn't terribly fast
    o   jythonc has some issues (but this may have been fixed) if you
        try to develop a library/core functionality in jython and
        drive it from java

I recommend following the KISS principle and just writing the thing in
jython, then using jythonc to distribute it in the end if you want to.
