We now have, using Raphael's patch and an embedded JSR-233 script engine:
TEST >>> from java.math import BigInteger
TEST >>> a = BigInteger('10')
TEST >>> type(a)
class org.python.core.PyLong
TEST >>> a > 100
false
TEST >>> a > 1
true

This is a test program very close to that offered in http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.jython.user/10467. The console interpreter does not behave consistently with this, so there's something to resolve, perhaps under #2216.

I was unable to pull the change request into my repository, but there's not much code, so I pasted it. Now at:
