Hi Wander

Thanks for the reply.
I'll try to get in touch with Jython guys. In the meantime I thought of asking 
you the question, do you have any suggestion or have ever come a solution for 
the problem I have(calling the perfect python package that uses PyUSBand has all 
the functionalities I need ) from my already existing big Java code?
If you can think of any thing other than Jython, would you kindly let me know?

Thanks so much
Safi
