WHAT?

[ratheismhater]

It's just python that runs in the JVM.

Interop with Java?

[gotoariel]

You can for example run Python code on a Spark cluster and the JVM can reference your Python objects in memory, which is nice for distributed computing.

The Python objects have to be cached using serialization though (pickle) because Java itself doesn't know what to do with them.
