==Differences==

*The ''os'' module in Jython is not a complete implementation of the ''os'' module in [[Python (programming language)|Python]] because of limitations in the "[[Sandbox (computer science)|sandboxing]]" design of [[Java]].

*Jython programs cannot use [[CPython]] extension modules written in C.

*Jython programs cannot use [[CPython]] extension modules written in C.

*Jython utilizes the pure [[Garbage collection|garbage collection]] algorithms of the [[Java|Java runtime environment]] instead of the reference counting method of the [[Python (programming language)|Python]] interpreter.
