Jep - Java Embedded Python
===========================

Jep embeds CPython in Java through JNI.

Some benefits of embedding CPython in a JVM:

* Using the native Python interpreter may be much faster than
  alternatives.

* Python is mature, well supported, and well documented.

* Access to high quality Python modules, both native CPython
  extensions and Python-based.

* Compilers and assorted Python tools are as mature as the language.

* Python is an interpreted language, enabling scripting of established
  Java code without requiring recompilation.

* Both Java and Python are cross platform, enabling deployment to 
  different operating systems.


Installation
------------
Simply run ``pip install jep`` or download the source and run ``python setup.py build install``.
Building and installing require the JDK, Python, and optionally numpy to be installed beforehand.

Dependencies
------------
* Python 2.7, 3.3, 3.4, 3.5, 3.6, 3.7, 3.8, or 3.9
* Java >= 1.7
* NumPy >= 1.7 (optional)

Notable features
----------------
* Interactive Jep console much like Python's interactive console
* Supports multiple, simultaneous, mostly sandboxed sub-interpreters or shared interpreters
* Numpy support for Java primitive arrays
