Python Language Website

Python is an excellent object-oriented scripting language; the Python interpreter can be extended in C. I've never used Python for a real project, but I'd love to; in my brief encounters, I've found it a fun language to write code in.

JPython is an implementation of Python in pure Java. Since Python is byte-compiled, normal Python code can be executed by JPython as well, however, JPython programs have immediate, transparent access to any Java classes available to the Java virtual machine. Since the JPython interpreter provides an interactive command-line, JPython can be used for hands-on testing of any Java class.
