I haven't tried it, but the strategies for executing Jython code from Java should work at least as well from Clojure. There are two approaches. One approach is to compile the Jython code into a class file. This requires some work on the Python side (similar to using gen-class in Clojure so that Clojure code can be called from Java), and the Python class of interest can't use multiple-inheritance. This approach is discussed in the section called "How to create Jython classes callable from Java programs" at http://www.seanet.com/~bugbee/python/jython4.html Another approach is to invoke the Jython interpreter as you suggested, load a Python script, and ask the interpreter to evaluate a function for you. An example can be found in this page: http://bytes.com/topic/python/answers/22390-executing-jython-function-java Additional discussion about the second approach can be found in the section called "How to run Python programs from Java" at http://www.seanet.com/~bugbee/python/jython4.html -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
