I get exactly the same behavior on both MacOSX and and Redhat 7.0 
Linux (via ssh from MacOSX terminal) . Both are running the same 
jython-1.2.class image, downloaded this AM from the jython website.

On Linux (Redhat 7.0) with IBM JDK

[bcox@linux:~]$ jython hello.py
Hello world
Hello
world
Helloworld

[bcox@linux:~]$ cat hello.py
print """Hello world""";
print """Hello
world"""
print "Hello\
world"

[bcox@linux:~]$ jython
Jython 2.1 on java1.3.0 (JIT: jitc)
Type "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>>  print """Hello world""";
Hello world
>>>  print """Hello
Traceback (innermost last):
   (no code object) at line 0
   File "<console>", line 2
SyntaxError: Lexical error at line 2, column 0.  Encountered: <EOF> after : ""
>>>  print "Hello\
Traceback (innermost last):
   (no code object) at line 0
   File "<console>", line 2
SyntaxError: Lexical error at line 2, column 0.  Encountered: <EOF> after : ""
>>>

On MacOSX 10.1.1 (I think; the latest release)

[bcox@g3mac:/b2/Applications/jython-2.1]$ !jy
jython
