Description

The "Python Programming Guide (Streaming) Beta" at https://ci.apache.org/projects/flink/flink-docs-master/dev/stream/python.html does not sufficiently highlight limitations of the API. It should probably have a prominent disclaimer right at the top stating that this actually isn't a "Python" API but Jython, which likely means that the user looking for a solution to run native Python code won't be able to use many important libraries, which is often the reason to look for Python support in first place.
