I know about Jython, but we need to access C extension module (to interface 
with libraries dealing with hardware & Co), and I dont think C extension 
modules are usable with Jython.

I've seen a thing named JPE (if I remember), which may be better for our 
need (a Java VM in Python and a Python VM in Java).

But using CORBA is if interest for us (remote control).
