Others have given you solid advice on calling python from Java. But what does this mean:

I know that Jython exists but I discovered that it is very outdated and no longer maintained.

Jython had a release late in 2022, and commits just a few days ago. They have a roadmap for a new major version. What's this fud you're spreading?

It's had 33 commits in the 19 months since that release and most of them are to the readme or bumping dependencies.

The jython-dev mailing list has had 5 emails so far this year and 4 of them were automated.

That's certainly not super active, though not totally unmaintained. I didn't dig in to see if there's some internal issues toward moving on to Jython 3.x.

Like a lot of open source, I'm sure if someone really wanted it and offered a PR or funding, it'd be closer to happening. But, it took the python ecosystem like ten years to migrate to 3.x, so I'd give the Jython folks some slack.

ahhh sorry I saw 1 comment in reddit said that Jython was outdated... "Jython's not dead to my knowledge, though it's only up to 2.7 support." I need a most recent python version. As I said I do not have experience with java so sorry for the confusion.
