ClassFile

+ +

The ClassFile collection of packages and utilities provides a means of +importing Java classes and packages directly into Python, without the need +for a Java virtual machine, so that the classes may be instantiated, +accessed, run and manipulated just like Python classes, and that the +resulting objects and methods can be accessed and manipulated just like +Python objects and methods.

+ +

Quick Example

+ +

cd tests/

+ +

javac Value.java

+ +

../runclass.py Value

+ +

v.getValue() correct: 123
+v.getValue() correct: 456
+v.isPositive() correct: 1
+v.isPositive() correct: 0
+v.compare(-790) correct: -1
+v.compare(-788) correct: 1
+v.compare(-789) correct: 0
+v.getValue() == v2.getValue() correct: 0
+v2.add(-123) correct: 0
+v2.getValue() correct: 255

+ +

java Value

+ +

v.getValue() correct: 123
+v.getValue() correct: 456
+v.isPositive() correct: true
+v.isPositive() correct: false
+v.compare(-790) correct: -1

Motivation

+ +

Pick one of the following:

The need/desire to access Java libraries from Python without firing up + Java virtual machines or switching to Jython (and thereby losing access + to various CPython libraries).
Static typing for the Python environment, albeit achieved by writing + Java or other appropriate languages.
Having an open source environment from top to bottom to run Java + bytecode on.
Experimentation around import hooks, bytecode generation; observation + of different runtime and type systems interacting.
