The following three-line python program works as
expected when stored in a file and run through python:

for t in range(10):
  # a comment
  print t

However the Jython interpreter, even in version 2.1a3,
chokes on the comment inside the block:

$ ./jython < bug.py
Jython 2.1a3 on java1.3.1_01 (JIT: null)
Type "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more
information.

SyntaxError: invalid syntax
