Jython

Jython is an implementation of the Python programming language written in Java (programming language).

Jython programs can seamlessly import and use any Java class. Except for some standard modules, Jython programs use Java classes instead of Python modules. Jython includes almost all of the modules in standard Python programming language distribution, lacking only some of the modules implemented originally in C. For example, a user interface in Jython would be written with Swing (Java) or AWT, rather than with Tkinter. Jython has both an interpreter (computing) and a Compiler.

Jython was formerly known as JPython .

As of October 2005, the current stable version of Jython is 2.1. The implementation of Jython lags behind CPython implementation, but Jython developers are now actively working on version 2.2, which consists of major enhancements such as the new style classes.
