Jython is a program package for Windows that provides implementations of Python in Java, thus allowing you to access the benefits of running applications on the JVM.

General notes

This is the JVM implementation of the Python programming language. It was designed to run on the Java platform. A program written with Jython is capable of using any class and compiling bytecode. One of the main advantages of this software is that the graphical user interface created in Python can use GUI elements from various toolkits like AWT, Swing or SWT package.

Main capabilities

Jython is complementary to JVM and is especially suited for different tasks. For example, programmers can add the libraries to their system to allow end users to write scripts that add functionality to the application. It also provides an interpreter that may be used to interact with Java packages or with running programs. This allows you to experiment and debug any developed system.

It is necessary to mention that since Python projects are typically shorter than the equivalent Java applications, this translates to increased programmer productivity. The seamless interaction between both languages allows users to freely mix the two together during development and deployment stages.
