[Pythonmac-SIG] Java-Python Extension

[Jack Jansen]

Python-dev-ils: this just came in on the Pythonmac-SIG. Did anyone
have a look at this already?

Recently, Jim Harrison <jhrsn@pitt.edu> said:

The mind boggles... This person (at least: there seems to be only one
person in the developer group right now) has apparently hung a
complete Python interpreter inside a JVM and written all the glue
code.

I have no time to look into this further, but from a quick inspection
of the CVS tree it looks as though it it reasonably complete. It
definitely looks a lot better than many of the vaporware 1-person
projects you can find on sourceforge...
