Just FYI: there's also a Jython list for this kind of questions.

The Jython mailing list is quite active - discussing the best way to
implement Python2.2 features such as generators. This is non-trivial
because Jython works by compiling to Java bytecode. The Python2.1
compatible release has been exceptionally stable - if it ain't broke,
don't fix it.
WRT Java scripting - while Jython is hands down the best full featured
dynamic scripting language for Java, if you want something with a very
small foot print, excellent Java integration, and simplicity, look at
Pnuts.

Have a look in the subdirectories of
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/jython/jython/org/python/
and count again. You might be off by a factor 10 or so.
