"Jython is a python implementation that allows you to run python programs within a Java environment. It was originally created by Jim Hugunin in late 1997. He explored that Java could be as fast as C for simple numerical benchmarks, and he also discovered that it was easy to translate Python to Java by hand.
"What exactly is Jython? Jython is a set of Java classes that allows Python bytecode to run on a Java Virtual Machine. Using Java Virtual Machine for Python has many advantages."
