Jep embeds CPython in Java through JNI.

Some benefits of embedding CPython in a JVM:

• Using the native Python interpreter may be much faster thanalternatives.
• Python is mature, well supported, and well documented.
• Access to high quality Python modules, both native CPythonextensions and Python-based.
• Compilers and assorted Python tools are as mature as the language.
• Python is an interpreted language, enabling scripting of establishedJava code without requiring recompilation.
• Both Java and Python are cross platform, enabling deployment todifferent operating systems.

Simply runpip install jep or download the source and runpip install .. Building and installing require the JDK and Python,to be installed beforehand. Pip will need to be able to install setuptoolsand numpy to build jep.

• Python >= 3.10
• Java >= 1.8
• NumPy >= 1.7 (optional)

• Interactive Jep console much like Python's interactive console
• Supports multiple, simultaneous, mostly sandboxed sub-interpreters or shared interpreters
• Numpy support for Java primitive arrays
