Thanks for responding Frank. I actually just tried 3 different methods of calling/importing python from within Java. You can view what I tested here: http://gist.github.com/286908

For my simple test case, using Jython 2.5.1 worked as expected. :)

I also tried Jython 2.5.0, which, aside from not having the interpreter.compile() method, did NOT work. So, it looks like the problem I was having in Jython 2.5.0 were fixed since then. Jython 2.5.0 gives this error stacktrace:
