Looks good!

Has anyone tried this for accessing a Java Socket API? (e.g. Interactive Brokers API) Im currently using Jython but would love to switch to "real" Python, unfortunately i am still a noob when it comes to get these things working..

@jpdus Will you elaborate on why you are eager to ditch Jython in favor of CPython? I guess I have a soft spot for Jython.

Overall this project looks very interesting- Can't wait to go through the source code at https://github.com/kivy/pyjnius to see how this works under the hood.

Cheers.

Mostly JNI, plus using our core class to use the java.reflect and discover methods and fields (you can't do it in JNI :/)

@jaytaylor The main reason for my part is that most/all my projects are pure python so far and im way more familiar with (C)Python and its libraries (numpy/scipy fe), dependencies, etc. than i am with Java. I like Jython too, but if i had the opportunity to do everything in pure Python i would ditch it nevertheless!
