Jython is a Java implementation of the Python language. It allows users to compile Python source code to Java byte codes, and run the resulting bytecodes on any Java Virtual Machine. It is the successor to JPython.
This has to be one of the more useful tools I've found for integrating dynamic scripting into an existing J2EE environment. I can quickly test code without having to use heavy-weight deployment logic.
Jython is a great project that makes the power of Python available to Java people.
I have used it to interface with existing tools (writen in Java) to create a flexible and useful test environment. Jython allowed a fast en flexible tool for reuse of existing Java interfaces and in the same time allowing an interactive environment for tests.
