Consider the following code
<<<
class Foo:
    def __init__(self):
        self.return=1
        self.other=2
        return

    pass

foo=Foo()
print foo.return
<<<

Jython accepts and executes this code, but I believe it is wrong as it uses a reserved word.

Thanks for the bug report! The code with "self.return" does look funny. We support the use of keywords after a dot on purpose because Jython translates Java code like:
Foo.getReturn()

to Foo.return

So this is a concession to our design.
