CPython From Java?

I need to call CPython code from Java. What tools/APIs/libraries exist out there to help me do this? Jython is not an option since the Python code is heavily dependent upon numpy.

Solution 1:

You can take a look at using Jepp to embed CPython into Java. Read documentation here.

edit: For windows the project has prebuilt binaries for Python 2.4, 2.5, and 2.6. For Linux/Unix systems, you have to build it yourself.

Solution 2:

You probably want to read the docs on embedding a CPython interpreter. Also, on how to load native libraries in Java (was that called JNI?)
