I've done something similar.  There are a few small bugs with Kay's
example.  In the hope of sparing the next person who finds this in the
tech-talk archive.  A working example which populates two PVs from two
columns of a table.

The final product is evg-seq.opi and the 4 associated python scripts:

some notes

With jython, 'array.array' and 'jarray.array' both have java arrays
underneath them, but the order of arguments of their constructors are
reversed!

The elements if the 'pvs' array of a type 'IPV' which isn't included in
the cs-studio help system.
