There are several solutions for getting the process ID suggested on this blog post.

One promising approach is to set a java System property on the command line that starts jython, e.g.

"""
2. Using shell script in addition to Java properties Start your app with a shellscript like this:

exec java -Dpid=$$ -jar /Applications/bsh-2.0b4.jar

then in java code call:

System.getProperty("pid");
"""

you could then monkeypatch the os module like so

>>> import java
>>> import os
>>> os.getpid = lambda: java.lang.System.getProperty("pid")
