You want a generic interface where you can arbitrarily dig around in the JVM? This will probably crash a lot, depending on what you touch. Java is strongly typed so the JVM will have internal assumptions on types etc.
Or do you have one particular java program that you want to call from Python? This can be made 100% solid. Just write C/C++ JNI bindings for the Java function that you want to call. Then access those bindings through Cython. And launch the JVM from the Cython code.
