Solved the minor problem of file access in jython. Apparently python's
and jython's differences in GC causes different behaviour in such
piece of code:

def bar():
 a = open('foo')
 a.write('guu')

Closing the file-handle explicitly -- a.close() in the example -- solved
the problem (probably better style in regular CPython as well).

{slightly distressing, that simple stuff like this causes trouble
in jython}


Took another closer look at Aegis (http://aegis.sf.net), read opinions
from people around the (use)net. It seems that Aegis was suggested as
Linux kernel's management software, but Bitkeeper prevailed (the related
flamewar may be enough to cause severe depression to any free software 
developer, so I do not recommend reading it).

Here's the author's posting to kernel list, anyway:
