best-practices

I'm considering moving my code (around 30K LOC) from CPython to Jython, so that I could have better integration with my java code.

Is there a checklist or a guide I should look at, to help my with the migration? Does anyone have experience with doing something similar?

From reading the Jython site, most of the problems seem too obscure to bother me.

I did notice that:

thread safety is an issue
Unicode support seems to be quite different, which may be a problem for me
mysqldb doesn't work and needs to be replaced with zxJDBC

Anything else?
