[Jython-users] How to use cpython and jython together?

[Joseph S. B. I. <jo...@ba...>]

I love jython, but as we all know it's missing some library
functionality, especially in the shell/filesystem/os area, for the
reason that it's hard or impossible to implement such functionality in
pure Java.

Is there some easy way of writing a program mostly in jython, and a
little in cpython (for the functionality missing in jython), and
sticking the parts together? If so, how?

The reason I don't just go with pure cpython is that I depend a lot on
the nice integration between jython and java, and I suspect that
moving to pure cpython would be a real pain. (But I don't know cpython
well enough to know that for sure.)

Thanks,
