IronClad equivalent for Jython

For IronPython there is a project - IronClad, that aims to transparently run C extensions in it. Is there a similiar project for Jython?

Solution

  • Keep an eye on JyNI (http://www.jyni.org), which is to Jython exactly what is Ironclad to IronPython. As of this writing JyNI is still alpha state though.

    If you just want to use some C-library from Jython, simply use JNA from Jython like you would do from Java. If you need finer control, look at JNI or SWIG.

    Also, you might want to take a look at JEP (https://github.com/mrj0/jep) or JPY (https://github.com/bcdev/jpy).
