[PDF] The Definitive Guide to Jython Python for the Java Platform

The Definitive Guide to Jython Python PDF

The Definitive Guide to Jython Python for the Java Platform book was written by Josh Juneau, Jim Baker, Victor Ng, Leo Soto, and Frank Wierzbicki. 

There is a great need for packaged Java platform applications that can be run on any Java Virtual Machine (JVM) and can therefore be used by virtually anyone with access to a JVM. While there exist multiple options for using the Python programming language on the JVM, this book focuses on Jython: an implementation of Python that has been ported to the JVM and offers full compatibility with standard CPython modules.

What is Jython?

Jython is a great tool for Java developers who want to expand their horizons and try something different. In the end, it all depends on what you’re trying to achieve with your project. 

If maximizing performance, scalability, and integration are important, then Jython may not be right for you. But if you need a refreshing change from Java that will allow you to create flexible programs that offer more control over the environment in which they run, then Jython is definitely.

The complete book is available as a pdf which you can free download from the button that appears after 15 sec.

To execute Jython commands, you need to use the JVM. The JVM is the environment that executes Java programs. You'll use this guide along with the help of your favorite IDE to create and run your own Java programs using Python programming language.
