Margaret,

One reason I stopped using Java a million years ago and became a
Python programmer is CLASSPATH hell. Which has gotten better, of
course, but none of us here has used Java via Jython, so we can't
offer any specific advice. Sorry.

However, this is something we've internally identified as a priority,
so if you happen to figure this out, we'd love to make a FAQ entry out
of what you discover.

There's also this alternate method for using Pellet from Python:

http://seth-scripting.sourceforge.net/

It uses JPype.
