Hello, I am just dropping a note to announce the alpha release of the first implementation of a full-fledged Java-Python integration: JPE. In contrast to JPython, this implementation relies on "C" Python and Java 2.0 SDK 1.2's JNI C API. In other terms, JPE maintains a Java and a Python virtual machines running in the same process space (while JPython entirely runs within the Java virtual machine). Java and Python threads are associated together at the OS thread level. For many other question: http://www/arakne.com/jpe. The source (Mozilla open source license) is available on sourceforge at http://sourceforge.net/projects/jpe. Ciao, Frederic Giacometti frederic.giacometti@arakne.com
