I don't see anything obviously wrong. Jython is built on java, so seeing java information is not a surprise. (And jython `help()` is not particularly helpful.) More helpful would be the backtrace you get when you try to _ **use** _ it and it fails. But first, make sure the version you choose is compatible with jython 2.5 (Ignition v7.9.x) or jython 2.7 (Ignition v8+). Also see this topic:

{ side note: the "3rd party modules" category is for authors of Ignition add-on modules, like me, to advertise our products. It doesn't refer to 3rd party **python** modules. Consider changing the category to get wider visibility for your question. }
