I think it would be quite difficult; the major stumbling block would
be getting the importing of PTL files to work.  The current code uses
the compiler package included with Python 2.x to parse Python code and
generate byte codes for it; this would need to be reworked to use
Jython's bytecode generator, and probably its parsing code as well.
Implementing this is likely to be a sizable project.

After that, there would be simpler things left to do, such as building
HTTPRequest/Response from the information provided to a servlet, but
the import hook would be the hardest thing to port.

People occasionally make noise about writing the requisite Jython code
to make the ZODB work, but I don't believe anyone has done so yet.
