Jep embeds CPython in Java
Project description
Jep - Java Embedded Python
Jep embeds CPython in Java through JNI.
Some benefits of embedding CPython in a JVM:
Using the native Python interpreter may be much faster than alternatives.
Python is mature, well supported, and well documented.
Access to high quality Python modules, both native CPython extensions and Python-based.
Compilers and assorted Python tools are as mature as the language.
Python is an interpreted language, enabling scripting of established Java code without requiring recompilation.
Both Java and Python are cross platform, enabling deployment to different operating systems.
Installation
Simply run pip install --no-cache-dir --no-build-isolation jep or download the source and run pip install .. Building and installing require the JDK, Python, setuptools, and optionally numpy to be installed beforehand. The --no-cache-dir and --no-build-isolation options are not strictly required, however those settings enable Jep to make customizations for your environment such as enabling numpy specific behavior if numpy is installed.
Dependencies
Python >= 3.6
Java >= 1.8
NumPy >= 1.7 (optional)
Notable features
Interactive Jep console much like Python’s interactive console
Supports multiple, simultaneous, mostly sandboxed sub-interpreters or shared interpreters
Numpy support for Java primitive arrays
