Thanks for the response. Currently I don't need to use java but
in the past when I explored such a possibility I looked at jpype
and I was unable to understand from the documentation what it
actually does.

There is a lot of text there, but it is all concerning catching
errors or other subtleties. For a new visitor the most important
question is about how it works, what does it do, and how can it be
applied for the given problem.

This is too generic. My question was a little more specific,
how would I pass a python list as an argument of a java class/method or
transform a java list into a python one? You don't have to
answer it here, I'm just pointing out the kind of
questions that I was unable to get an answer for on the jpype
website.

best,

Istvan.
