In tonight's build (well, tomorrow's) there are some updates to this facility. 
The Jython Display Control operates in two modes. First is the development mode.
You can create a Jython Control with data (e.g., a grid field) and then specify
some things about it. e.g., probe type (point, sounding, etc.), jython code, 
etc.
The Jython is called in 3 places: at initialization time (to create gui 
components, etc.),
when the data is loaded and when the probe is moved.

From this development mode you can export it (through the File menu) into a 
plugin.
When that plugin is loaded the Jython control runs in user mode. All they see 
is the results
of the Jython code that was written in the developer mode.

To use this (after the next nightly build) go to the plugin manager and install 
the
"Jython Dev Control" plugin (at the bottom of the list). Restart and you should 
be able
to create the development mode jython control.

This is an evolving facility (to say the least) and feedback and comments are 
always appreciated.

-Jeff
