[Jython-users] Jython Alternative - Jep - Java Embedded Python

[Gerald B. <lux...@ya...>]

Hello,

  In response to the Viva Scripting Language for Java
of the Year 2004 poll (see
http://jroller.com/page/viva) Mike Johnson wrote in to
tell me about an alternative Python scripting language
project for Java that he created called Jep (Java
Embedded Python).

  Mike writes:

  Jep embeds CPython in Java. It is safe to use in a
heavily threaded environment, it is quite fast and its
stability is a main feature and goal.

  Some benefits to this approach:

- Although Python isn't blazingly fast, it may mean a
massive speed improvement over Java-based languages.

- Python is mature so authors needn't fear the
interpreter will suddenly change widely-used features.

- Access to the high quality Python modules, both
native and Python-based.

- Compilers and assorted Python tools are as mature as
the language.

- Python is an ideal language for your business logic.
It is easy to learn, eminently readable and generally
immune to programming gotchas.

  More @ http://jepp.sourceforge.net and
http://sourceforge.net/projects/jepp

  Let us know what you think about Jep? Is it a viable
alternative to Jython?

   - Gerald
