More than four years after the formation of the last significant branch release layer , allowing full access for Python applications to class libraries in Java. With JPype, you can use Java-specific libraries from Python, creating hybrid applications that combine Java and Python code. The project code is distributed under the Apache 2.0 license.
Unlike Jython, integration with Java is achieved not by creating a version of Python for the JVM, but through interaction at the level of both virtual machines, using shared memory. This approach not only allows for good performance but also provides access to all CPython and Java libraries. In this new release, the core module code has been completely rewritten, support for
unattached threads has been added, security has been improved, Java exceptions are now translated to Python exceptions, and behavior during string conversions has been changed.
