The motivation for this ticket is to have jython scripts registered as executable targets (in Windows).

Windows apparently does not have an equivalent of shebang mechanism in Unix, which would allow specifying the interpreter as jython.

Possible way of solving the use case is renaming jython script as .jy files, which allows setting a file type association to jython.bat.

This however produces new conflict, because trying to import from a .jy script fails.

Earlier mailing list discussions:

http://sourceforge.net/p/jython/mailman/message/10226002/
http://sourceforge.net/p/jython/mailman/message/11764221/

Hoping for the following outcomes:
a) some other way of getting jython scripts associated with the jython.bat
b) approval for supporting import both from .py and .jy files.
c) Something else I didn't think of
