The following ex.py:
------------------
a = 1
if a = 1:
    print "Success!"
------------------
leads to an infinite loop somewhere in the Jython
interpreter. This only happens when the code is
executed non-interactively, an interactive session
correctly signals the syntax error in line 2.

Output from jython -v ex.py

then jython hangs, using lots of CPU:

/java -Dpython.home=/home/...
----------------------------------------
I'm running on Solaris 2.8 with jre 1.2 version 2.1 of
Jython.

> jython --version
Jython 2.1 on java (JIT: sunwjit)

(Jython downloaded on July 15th.)

But thanks for doing a great job.
