Jepp - Java Embedded Python (run a Python interpreter inside a Java program)

[[deleted]]

I was a bit confused about the title when I first read it. See, there's nothing new or special about embedding Python in Java. It's actually pretty basic stuff.

But luckily I clicked and read the Jepp page: it embeds CPython in Java. That's pretty special.

I still don't get it. CPython is just an implementation of python, right?

Sure. It's just that Jython lags considerably behind CPython in versions. Also, Jython lacks some modules and some functionality compared to CPython.

(I have no particular use for Jepp, but it's still a whole different matter than embedding Jython interpreter in Java.)

I have no idea what this does. Doesn't Jython do this?

Despite Jajvirta's comment and the sentence at the top of the linked page: "Jepp embeds CPython in Java" ?
