Theoretically, though, Python subclasses should be able to access and
override protected methods of the Java parent class.
What I wound up doing is this:
public abstract class Regex {
public static Regex compile(String pattern) {
PythonVM vm = org.apache.jcc.PythonVM.start(...);
PythonExtensibleRegex r = (PythonExtensibleRegex) vm.instantiate(...);
if (pattern != null)
r.initialize(pattern);
return r;
}
private static PythonExtensibleRegex _static = null;
public static String escape (String s) {
if (_static == null) {
_static = (PythonExtensibleRegex) compile(null);
}
return _static.internalescape(s);
}
...
}
public class PythonExtensibleRegex extends Regex {
...
public native String internalescape (String s);
...
}
So the data hiding is happening, it's just a bit messy.
