B.4 Java

As we described in Chapter 10, JPython is a complete implementation by Jim Hugunin of Python for Java. It's the most different port mentioned in this appendix, since it shares none of the C code base (but most of the Python code base) of the reference implementation of Python. The home page for JPython is http://www.python.org/jpython/. The set of extensions to JPython is the same as the set of Java libraries that are available. In other words, it's a huge list. A good place to look for Java information is at Sun's web site: http://java.sun.com.
