Jython

[aksel]

First off, i am new to this forum so - hello everyone!

I am just beginning with Python since last year, so please excuse if some questions should sound silly.

What i am trying to do: i got a Java-Module which i need from time to time, so usually i am working in Jython, not Python. Syntax doesn't differ at all, but the runtime is written in Java as opposed to C. Can i access Maya from an external editor calling Jython as well, or is that not possible because Maya uses C-compiled Python modules?

Thanks,
Aksel

Well no, but it depends on wat you do theres actually no reason why your java engine cant talk with a c style python indirectly. Or with c as you can just use com for the communication. or make JNI wrapper for the module

The real question is why would you want to. Odds are you can find a similliar module for c. Or if its your own its probably relatively easy to port.
