Hello, I am working on a project in Python, and I"m currently looking into the possibiliy of writing some of the project"s modules in Java. Given that a large part of the code is already written in Python, using the standard libraries and several extension modules, I am trying to gauge the viability of integration with Java via Jython with minimal impact on present code, on the complexity of future code, and on deadlines! I need to know in general how dirty it will be to combine the two languages, and what the costs I should take into account are. I"m also interested to know if there are any commonly accepted strategies to fully switch project languages (I"m considering, in the extreme case, to change it all into Java), and if writing some modules in Java and replacing the rest gradually makes sense. Three more specific questions I thought of: 1. Is is possible to pack a Jython/Java program in a py2exe-like fashion? Is it possible to pack in such a way both Python, Jython and Java code? 2. Does transferring large data structures between Java and Python code running by Jython have a significant effect on memory? For example, would passing the result of a large database query from Java to Jython, for further processing, cause the entire data to be duplicated or something similar? 3. Did I miss anything fundemental? Thanks! Joe.
