va World than helping Mercurial by recoding it in Java (which only help peo=
ple who like to write Java code).<br><br>So far, if i didn&#39;t miss somet=
hing, the best way to do this would be by finding a way to have it run prop=
erly into Jython... (Perhaps building some kind of Jython application that =
would act as a container for Mercurial).<br>
<br>Using Jython, would we be able to have a finer API to &quot;discuss&quo=
t; with either Mercurial, its repository or a remote repository ? (because =
this is the main purpose of all of this, isn&#39;t it ?)<br><br><div class=
