Not easily. You can embed C in Java with JNI. You can access the result from Jython. But the original requirement seems a bit weird - why Java and C in one program? ISTM you should pick Python/C or Jython/Java but not both. Can you say more about what you are trying to accomplish?

(By "Java Python" do you mean "Java AND Python" or "the Java version of Python" e.g. Jython?)
