title: Migrating from CPython to Jython
body: <p>I'm considering moving my code (around 30K LOC) from CPython to Jython, so that I could have better integration with my java code. </p>
  
  <p>Is there a checklist or a guide I should look at, to help my with the migration? Does anyone have experience with doing something similar?</p>
  
  <p>From reading the <a href="http://jython.sourceforge.net/docs/differences.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Jython site</a>, most of the problems seem too obscure to bother me.</p>
  
  <p>I did notice that:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>thread safety is an issue</li>
  <li>Unicode support seems to be quite different, which may be a problem for me</li>
  <li>mysqldb doesn't work and needs to be replaced with zxJDBC</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>Anything else?</p>
