What I want to do us write scripts in CPython that access Windows ActiveX such as Word and IE. Obviously Jython can't do this (easily at least). I also have Jython scripts that provide a high level layer on top of various Java libraries. I'd like to write as much code in Python as possible. But I have a mixture of incompatible CPython and Jython scripts - that's why I would like to embed Jython in CPython. If I can call my Jython scripts from CPython I can have the best of both world's!
Would I be able to embed Jython using JPype? The PyLucene approach (compile Java source with GCJ then wrap with SWIG) looks interesting - but complicated.
Here's an example of embedding Jython in a regular Java app: http://www.jython.org/docs/embedding.html
Imagine doing the same in CPython, but with JPype or GCJ/SWIG.
