python-jvm-interpreter is an implementation of the Java Virtual Machine inPython. It works by parsing and interpreting the Java Class files.

In order to compile Java code to Java Bytecode, you will need to havejavac. If you just want to run bytecode that is already compiled, all you needis a Python interpreter.

The project comes with a number of unit tests. If you run the shell scripttest.sh, it will compile the Java files in the example directory and run theunit tests. You will be able to see how many test passed and how many failed.

Even if you haven't touched anything critical, it is always a good idea to runthe unit tests after each change. This will make sure that nothing breaks, andif it does you will immediately know why it broke.

As more functionality is implemented, the amount of test cases should beincreased in order to make it easier to check if anything is broken.
