Jython

Overview of Jython:

  • Jython is the implementation of the Python Programming Language targeted for the Java Platform. 
  • Jython enables Java classes to be imported inside a Python program.
  • With Jython, it is also possible to import Jython libraries into a Java Program and execute the embedded Python script from a Java program.

Development:

Execution of a Jython Program:

  • Jython interpreter creates Java byte code on the fly, which is executed by the Java Virtual Machine (JVM).

Jython Interpreter

Compatibility with CPython:

  • There are certain amount of incompatibilities between the reference implementation and the Jython implementation.
  • Like other variants of Python, the releases of Jython lags behind the releases of CPython - the reference implementation of the Python Program Language.
  • The Standard Python Library modules of CPython that are written in Python are included in Jython.
  • In the similar way, any other Python modules that are written in Python will aslo work seamlessly in Jython.
  • Several libraries of the CPython implementation which are written in C are rewritten in Jython to make those libraries work for a Jython Program.
