The issue tracker covers it:
  https://github.com/imagej/pyimagej/issues

Also, since I forgot to mention it in my previous email:
* Jython is Python 2.7 only.
* pyimagej is Python 3 only.

You said you wanted Python 3, so that's another point for pyimagej.

In general: if what you want is to mix-and-match PyData stack
(NumPy/SciPy/scikit/pandas/et al.) with ImageJ, I know of no other feasible
way than pyimagej. In that case your best bet would be to suffer the
"limitations and bugs" and participate in the development to push the
project forward. On the other hand, if you are just looking for the best
script language to use _on the JVM_ then it's really in the eye of the
beholder: see https://imagej.net/Scripting#Supported_languages for a list
of possibilities.

Regards,
Curtis
