I am a current jython committer, and have contributed
A NewSocketModule with
- Timeout support
- Asynchronous support
- Client side SSL support
A SelectModule with
- Support for the select function

I will address any jython issues relating to these modules, or modules that use them, such httplib, ftplib, telnetlib, etc, etc.
