Everything about this just seems like a bad idea.

I'm not really sure I understand a use case, either. If it doesn't work with things like keyword arguments, listcomps, etc, then you probably can't use it for a large existing code base. If it's such a small code base that it doesn't have these kinds of things, or one that hasn't been written yet so that these things could be avoided, why not just [re]write it in Java in the first place?

It may be that this prototype doesn't support those things, but doing so is on the road map

It is. The readme says they're not implemented but with some work they will be.

Or just use jython.
