    1.14 +<h1>ClassFile</h1>
    1.15 +
    1.16 +<p>The ClassFile collection of packages and utilities provides a means of
    1.17 +importing Java classes and packages directly into Python, without the need
    1.18 +for a Java virtual machine, so that the classes may be instantiated,
    1.19 +accessed, run and manipulated just like Python classes, and that the
    1.20 +resulting objects and methods can be accessed and manipulated just like
    1.21 +Python objects and methods.</p>

    1.55 +<h2>Motivation</h2>
    1.56 +
    1.57 +<p>Pick one of the following:</p>
    1.58 +<ul>
    1.59 +  <li>The need/desire to access Java libraries from Python without firing up
    1.60 +    Java virtual machines or switching to Jython (and thereby losing access
    1.61 +    to various CPython libraries).</li>
    1.62 +  <li>Static typing for the Python environment, albeit achieved by writing
    1.63 +    Java or other appropriate languages.</li>
    1.64 +  <li>Having an open source environment from top to bottom to run Java
    1.65 +    bytecode on.</li>
    1.66 +  <li>Experimentation around import hooks, bytecode generation; observation
    1.67 +    of different runtime and type systems interacting.</li>
    1.68 +</ul>
