jtypes.jpy 0.10.0a3

Bi-directional Python-Java bridge (ctypes/cffi-based Jpy)

Currently only as placeholder (because a base package jtypes.jvm is still in development)

jtypes.jpy

Bi-directional Python-Java bridge.

Overview

jtypes.jpy is a bi-directional bridge between Python and Java which can be use to call Java from Python and Python from Java.

PyPI record.

jtypes.jpy is a lightweight Python package, based on the ctypes or cffi library.

It is an almost fully compliant implementation of Norman Fomferra’s Jpy package by reimplementing its functionality in a clean Python instead of C.

About Jpy:

Borrowed from the original website:

jpy is a bi-directional Java-Python bridge allowing you to call Java from Python and Python from Java.

jpy is a bi-directional Python-Java bridge which you can use to embed Java code in Python programs or the other way round. It has been designed particularly with regard to maximum data transfer speed between the two languages. It comes with a number of outstanding features:

• Fully translates Java class hierarchies to Python

• Transparently handles Java method overloading

• Support of Java multi-threading

• Fast and memory-efficient support of primitive Java array parameters via Python buffers (e.g. numpy arrays)

• Support of Java methods that modify primitive Java array parameters (mutable parameters)

• Java arrays translate into Python sequence objects

• Java API for accessing Python objects (jpy.jar)
