Hi Stephen,One of the goals is to expose the CDM to cPython (so Jython is out). We see many of our users (myself included) are/have moved to a cPython/Numpy/Scipy/Matplotlib environment for scientific analysis of their data, and it would be great to give them access to the CDM without rewriting everything in cPython.
Thanks everyone for the feedback thus far! Cheers! Sean On 04/04/12 07: 38, stephen.pascoe@xxxxxxxxxx wrote:
The important question is why you need Python. If it's to access some C library with python bindings (e.g. numpy or netCDF4-python) then Jython isn't appropriate and you'll need one of those Python<->bridges JPype or Jepp. If you need the very latest Python features (particularly Python 3) you'll also find Jython is a bit behind CPython. Many standard Python frameworks now work with Jython (e.g. Django, SQLAlchemy) but you'd have to check the compatibility of each dependency. Otherwise Jython is the most popular and well maintained choice. Depending on your application you could also wire Java and Python together using inter-process communication. There is a plethora of RPC libraries out there with good Python and Java support. E.g. protocol buffers.

I am just starting to develop in Jython, so I can't claim experience in this department yet. The first section of this page details Java within Jython. http://www.jython.org/jythonbook/en/1.0/JythonAndJavaIntegration.html -Rob On Apr 4, 2012, at 1:02 AM,<stephen.pascoe@xxxxxxxxxx> wrote:Hi John, Direct experience beyond playing, no; but I've come across several options: * Jpype : http://sourceforge.net/project/jpype -- embeds a JVM in Python * Jepp : http://jepp.soureforge.net -- embeds Python interpreter in Java * Jython : http://www.jython.org -- A Python implementation in the JVM. I expect you want Jpype as in your case Python is doing the wrapping. I tested it out once and it worked for me. The project seems isn't exactly active but it still appears to be in use.
