This is no problem at all with Jython.

[larsga@pc36 larsga]$ jython
Jython 2.0 on java1.3.0 (JIT: null)
Type "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> from java.util import HashMap
>>> class DemoClass:
...   def say_hello(self): 
...     print "I'm a Python object!"
... 
>>> hash = HashMap()
>>> hash.put("hello", DemoClass())
>>> hash.get("hello").say_hello()
I'm a Python object!
