Enables Python to dynamically access arbitrary Java objects (ctypes/cffi-based Py4J)
Project description
Currently only as placeholder (because a base package jtypes.jvm is still in development)
jtypes.py4j
Enables Python to dynamically access arbitrary Java objects.
Overview
jtypes.py4j enables Python programs to dynamically access arbitrary Java objects via Java’s Native Invocation Interface (JNI).
jtypes.py4j is a lightweight Python package, based on the ctypes or cffi library.It is an almost fully compliant implementation of Barthelemy Dagenais’s Py4J package by reimplementing its functionality in a clean Python via JNI instead of Python and Java via custom API service.
About Py4J:
Borrowed from the original website:
Py4J enables Python programs running in a Python interpreter to dynamically access Java objects in a Java Virtual Machine. Methods are called as if the Java objects resided in the Python interpreter and Java collections can be accessed through standard Python collection methods. Py4J also enables Java programs to call back Python objects.
Here is a brief example of what you can do with Py4J.The following Python program creates a java.util.Random instance from a JVM and calls some of its methods.>>> from py4j.java_gateway import JavaGateway >>> gateway = JavaGateway() # connect to the JVM >>> random = gateway.jvm.java.util.Random() # create a java.util.Random instance >>> number1 = random.nextInt(10) # call the Random.nextInt method >>> number2 = random.nextInt(10) >>> print(number1,number2) (2, 7)
