I searched the web for a long time, and finally Jeff Emanuel emailed
me and solved the problem.

That's the code, any advice is apreciated:

import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
import java.text.*;

import org.python.util.PythonInterpreter;
import org.python.core.*;

public class Calculate {
  public static void main(String[] args){
    PythonInterpreter interp = new PythonInterpreter();
    interp.execfile("script1.py");
    PyFunction func =
(PyFunction)interp.get("calculate",PyFunction.class);
		SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy hh.mm.ss");
    System.out.println("======[" + sdf.format(new Date()) +
"]===========");
    for (int i=1 ; i<10000 ; ++i) {
      // Assuming calculate takes a float argument.
      func.__call__(new PyFloat(i));
			//interp.eval("calculate(" + i + ")");
    }
    System.out.println("======[" + sdf.format(new Date()) +
"]===========");
  }
}
