Python wrapper for the Java Native Interface (ctypes/cffi-based javabridge)

Project description

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

jtypes.javabridge

Python wrapper for the Java Native Interface.

Overview

jtypes.javabridge is a bridge between Python and Java, allowing these to intercommunicate.
It is an effort to allow python programs full access to Java class libraries.

PyPI record.

jtypes.javabridge is a lightweight Python package, based on the ctypes or cffi library.
It is an almost fully compliant implementation of Lee Kamentsky’s and Vebjorn Ljosa’s Javabridge package by reimplementing whole its functionality in a clean Python instead of Cython and C.

About javabridge:
