Optimizing Python With Jython

by Tom

Being interpreted and dynamic, Python is generally not as fast as compiled languages. Here is a technique for optimizing Python by way of Jython, including reasons why you’d want to use Java to implement some parts of your Python program and exactly how to write an extension in Java. Has anybody else heard of Jython before?  I never had but it looks like there could be some cases in which making use of Java in this way could help you with a Python application. Any feedback readers can give in the comments would be much appreciated; I would think a general improvement on Python like this would be quite interesting to a lot of people.

If you found this helpful or interesting, please share it!
