RE: [Jython-users] accessing win32com.client from jython

[Neil B. <nei...@ca...>]

Hello,

	You can use a Java/COM bridge of which there are several available.  Jacob
is a good open source one, JIntegra is a paying licence based one.  Both
work reasonably OK but you do need to know a bit about how COM works.

Cheers,

I haven't explored this, but it seems you could use JNI to embed C python in
the JVM, then invoke Python code in the CPython interpreter.

Python-In-Python, anyone?
