building any system where programmer productivity is a primary concern. Its<br />
rich integration with Java allows programmers to freely mix JPython and<br />
Java code without giving up any of the advantages of either language.</p>
<p>"JPython is to Java and JavaBeans what Visual Basic(TM) is to C++ and<br />
Microsoft(TM) COM(TM) objects," said Nathan Sharp of Phoenix Integration.<br />
"The seamless integration easily makes JPython the most powerful scripting<br />
language for Java around."</p>
<p>JPython's integration with Java draws on the strengths of the Java<br />
platform. JPython code can easily access any existing Java libraries and<br />
JavaBeans. The Java virtual machine allows JPython to statically compile<br />
Python source code to Java bytecodes that will run anywhere that Java does.<br />
Through Java's support for dynamic class loading, JPython can dynamically<br />
compile Python code to allow interactive use while still achieving the<br />
performance of a true compiler.</p>
<p>Others are noticing and taking advantage of the power JPython provides to<br />
Java developers:</p>
<p>"Using JPython, we have complete access to our Java-based system software<br />
without writing new interfaces, hooks or wrappers," said Ken Swisz, Cougar<br />
Software Manager at KLA-Tencor Corp. "This gives our users all the power we<br />
can possibly provide at a relatively low investment in effort for us. The<br />
advantage in using JPython over other choices is tremendous. The language<br />
itself is well designed, and its object-oriented nature makes it a natural<br />
fit for Java. I have been recommending it to other organizations in the<br />
company for their use as a scripting language."</p>
<p>"The first generation of our CASE tool used Tcl as its integrated scripting<br />
language," said Dan Snider, president of Object Domain Systems Inc. "In<br />
developing Object Domain 2.0, we decided to instead use JPython. The<br />
transition was primarily motivated by the desire for an Object-Oriented<br />
scripting language, Python's cleaner syntax, and JPython's seamless<br />
integration with Object Domain's Java-based framework."</p>
<p>"By providing easy access to the rich Java graphics APIs, JPython is<br />
clearly the number one choice for developers of GUI applications," said<br />
Norman Shelley of Motorola Corp.</p>
<p>Guido van Rossum created the Python language in the early 1990s, and it has<br />
been used successfully in many interesting software projects since then.<br />
Steve Kirsch, the chairman of Infoseek Corp., describes his experiences<br />
with the language: "Over the past 30 years, I've written code in every<br />
major programming language. Python is my favorite programming language by a<br />
wide margin. It's an elegant, well-designed language that can be learned in<br />
a few hours. In addition, the code is easy to read and large systems are<br />
easy to maintain. There is simply no faster way to develop applications. A<br />
skilled Python programmer can, on average, crank out applications five<br />
times faster than a programmer in more traditional languages."</p>
<p>JPython completely implements the Python language in 100% Pure Java, and is<br />
freely available in both source and binary form. In order to implement<br />
Python's Perl5-compatible regular expressions, JPython includes the<br />
outstanding OROMatcher(TM) regular expression engine developed by Original<br />
Reusable Objects(TM) at <a href="http://www.oroinc.com" title="http://www.oroinc.com">http://www.oroinc.com</a>. By agreement, this regular<br />
expression engine is only distributed in binary form. JPython can be found<br />
at <a href="http://www.python.org/jpython" title="http://www.python.org/jpython">http://www.python.org/jpython</a>.</p>
