I was able to verify that this is in fact the case.  However, I also determined 
that
the problem is with the version of Jython (2.2.1) used by the JES interpreter.  
As it
turns out bin(number) was not implemented in that version of Jython and didn't 
appear
in full Python until version 2.6.  Until a version of Jython is release with 
support
for this JES will not have this as a built in function.
