Alan!!! it works!!!!! :)

Sorry for the last reply, but I hadn't had a minute till now to play with it.  Your question make me think in detail what I could be doing wrong, re-did the whole thing from scratch, taking special care in all the steps - probably this is to obvious for all of you, but just in case someone gets here with the same problem.

1.- build jython.jar with: ant jar-complete
2.- build the installer: ant -f maven/build.xml
3.- copy the installer to the server machine and install it; it took me a while to realize the bundle was not the installer, and I had to unzip it first (otherwise I was getting "no main manifest attribute, in jython-installer-2.7.0-SNAPSHOT-bundle.jar")
4.- copy the demo modjy_webapp to the webapps directory in tomcat.
5.- follow the instructions in the modjy_webapp/readme.txt
   - copy from the installation: ~/jython/jythor.jar to webapps/modjy_webapp/WEB-INF/lib
   - copy also the python libraries: ~/jython/Lib/* to webapps/modjy_webapp/WEB-INF/lib-python  # I think this is not strictly needed
6.- change in modjy_webapp/WEB-INF/web.xml the following variable:
   - python.home -> /home/username/jython # Do not put ~/jython as this won't work!!!

And then it should work.

Allan, thank you again, and I'm really sorry that all this time it was my mistake.
