Deephaven jpy

This package is a fork of jpy https://github.com/bcdev/jpy.git maintained by Deephaven Data Labs.

Installation

• Note that "deephaven-jpy" is not compatible with "jpy" as they both install shared libraries with the same name.
• If you already have "jpy" installed, it should be removed before installing "deephaven-jpy"

    # Remove jpy if it is currently installed
    pip uninstall jpy

    # Install deephaven-jpy
    pip install deephaven-jpy

Usage

>>> import jpy
>>> ...

jpy Changelog

Version 0.10 (in development)

• Make jpy work with Anaconda by setting environment variable PYTHONHOME from Java #143. Contribution by Dr-Irv.
• Fixed: Constants are not properly passed from Java to Python when using interfaces #140. Contribution by Dr-Irv.
• Fixed: Cannot iterate through a dict in Python 3.x #136. Contribution by Dr-Irv.

Version 0.9

This version includes a number of contributions from supportive GitHub users. Thanks to all of you!

Fixes

• Corrected Java reference count of complex PyObject passed back and forth to methods (issue #120). Fix by sbarnoud.
• Fixed problem where default methods on Java 8 Interfaces were not found (issue #102). Fix by Charles P. Wright.
• Fixed error caused by missing sys.argv in Python when called from Java (issue #81). Fix by Dave Voutila.
• Fixed problem where calling jpy.get_type() too many times causes a memory access error (issue #74). Fix by Dave Voutila.
• Fixed a corruption when retrieving long values (#72). Fix by chipkent.
• Fixed fatal error when stopping python session (issue #70, #77). Fix by Dave Voutila.

Explicit null checks for avoiding JVM crash (issue #126). Fix by Geomatys.

Improvements

• Can now use pip to install Python jpy package directly from GitHub (#83). This works for Linux and OS X where C compilers are available by default and should work on Windows with Visual Studio 15 installed. Contribution by Dave Voutila.
• Java PyObject is now serializable. Contribution by Mario Briggs.
• Improved Varargs method matching. You may pass in either an array (as in the past) or individual Python arguments, the match for a varargs method call is the minimum match for each of the arguments. Zero length arrays (i.e. no arguments) are also permitted with a match value of 10.
• jpy.type_translations dictionary for callbacks when instantiating Python objects.
• jpy.VerboseExceptions enables full Java stack traces.
• More Python exceptions are translated to the corresponding Java type.
• Globals and locals are converted when executing code with PyLib, to allow variables to be used across statement invocation; and interrogated from Java.
• PyObject wrappers for dictionary, list, and introspection functions to tell you whether or not you can convert the object.
• Support for isAssignable checks when dealing with Python Strings and primitives, to allow matches for argument types such as java.lang.Comparable or java.lang.Number.

Version 0.8

Fixes

• Java interface types don't include methods of extended interfaces (issue #64)
• Loading of jpy DLL fails for user-specific Python installations on Windows (issue #58)
• Java interface types didn't expose java.lang.Object methods (issue #57)
• Java 1-arg static method was confused with a zero-arg non-static method (issue #54)
• Python interpreter crash occurred when executing del statement on Java arrays (issue #52)
• Python extensions loaded from Java couldn't see Python symbols (Linux) (issue #38)

Improvements

• It is now possible to use jpy Java API to work with multiple Python installations (issue #35). A tool called 'jpyutil.py' can be used to write configuration files that determine the required shared libraries for a given Python versions. A new Java system property 'jpy.config' is used to point to a desired configuration file.
• Simplified jpy installation (issue #15):
  • removed need to add JVM path to PATH (Windows) / LD_LIBRARY_PATH (Unix) environment variable
  • removed need to compile Java module using Maven
  • removed need to specify JDK_HOME environment variable, if JAVA_HOME already points to a JDK
• Added 'jclass' attribute to Python type that wraps a Java class (issue #63) .
• Java API extensions

• new jpy.org.PyObject.executeCode() methods
• new jpy.org.PyModule.getBuiltins() method
• new jpy.org.PyModule.getMain() method
• new jpy.org.PyModule.extendSysPath() method

• Java API configuration changes:
  • System property jpy.jpyLib:
  • System property jpy.jdlLib:
  • System property jpy.pythonLib:
  • System property jpy.config:
  • Loaded from

    File ./jpyconfig.properties

    Resource /jpyconfig.properties

    File ${jpy.config}

• Python API configuration changes:
  • Loaded from

    File ./jpyconfig.py

    Resource ${jpy-module}/jpyconfig.py

  • Attribute java_home
  • Attribute jvm_dll
• Python API extensions
  • new jpyutil module

    jpyutil.init_jvm(...)

    jpyutil.preload_jvm_lib(...)

  • new jpyutil tool

    usage: jpyutil.py [-h] [--out OUT] [--java_home JAVA_HOME] [--jvm_dll JVM_DLL]

• Added basic support for Java Scripting Engine API (issue #53)

Other changes

• Switched to Apache 2.0 license from version 0.8 and later (issue #60)

Version 0.7.5

• Fixed bad pointer in C-code which caused unpredictable crashes (issue #43)

Version 0.7.4

• Fixed a problem where jpy crashes with unicode arguments (issue #42)
• Fixed segmentation fault occurring occasionally during installation of jpy (issue #40)
• Improved Java exception messages on Python errors (issue #39)

Version 0.7.3

• Fixed problem where a Java primitive array argument has occasionally not been initialised by a related Python buffer argument (issue #37)

Version 0.7.2

• Added backward compatibility with Python 2.7 (issue #34).
• Added Java parameter annotation 'output' (issue #36). This is used to optimise passing Python buffer arguments where Java primitive arrays are expected.
• Removed debugging prints of the form "JNI_OnLoad: ..."
• Corrected documentation of jpy.array(type, init) function, which was said to be jpy.array(type, length)
• Removed console dumps that occurred when calling from Java proxies into Python
• Updated Java API documentation and added it to Sphinx doc folder (doc/_static/java-apidoc)
• Added new diagnostic F_ERR flag to Java class PyLib.Diag
• Java class PyLib is no longer instantiable

Version 0.7.1

• Updated README and added MANIFEST.in after recognising that the jpy-0.7.zip distribution misses most of the required source files and learning what to do on this case.

Version 0.7

• Initial version.
