embedding jython in CPython...

[Jim Hargrave]

I've read that it is possible to compile jython to native code using 
GCJ. PyLucene uses this approach, they then use SWIG to create a Python 
wrapper around the natively compiled (java) Lucene. Has this been done 
before for with jython?

Another approach would be to use JPype to call the jython jar directly.

My goal is to be able to script Java code using Jython - but with the 
twist of using Cpython as a glue layer. This would allow mixing of Java 
and non-Java resources - but stil do it all in Python (Jython and Cpython).

I'd appreciate any pointers to this topic and pros/cons of the various 
methods.
