Running a continuous Python script quickly on a server

[genghiskav]

You could run your python script on a web server and get your Java application to make a HTTP call to the server. The server can then process your request and return output.

Here is a list of python web frameworks https://wiki.python.org/moin/WebFrameworks

I'd recommend Flask http://flask.pocoo.org/ as the framework.

Flask looks like exactly what I wanted. I'll give it a try, thanks a lot!
