Question about compiling with Jython

I have just installed Jython 2.7, and am looking for a simple example of compiling a Python script down to a Java .class file. Following a suggestion on Stack Overflow, I tried to compile a file called HelloWorld.py, which contains this:

class HelloWorld(object):
    def hello(self):
        print 'Hello, World!'

if __name__ == '__main__':
    h = HelloWorld()
    h.hello()

Using these Jython commands (in the same working directory):

import py_compile
py_compile.compile('HelloWorld.py')

That produces a file called HelloWorld$py.class, but when I try to run it with java from the command line, I get this error:

Error: Could not find or load main class HelloWorld

Please let me know what commands I should use.

Thanks.

Ted
