Calling java code from python on windows 8

Question

I want to call java code from my python script on a windows 8 machine.

During my research, I have found the following approaches:

• jpype
• pyjnius
• javabridge
• py4j

but I wasn't able to get any of the above to work, so far: Most packages are only available for linux distributions only, or have some other constraints (only 32bit, not working after conda convert from linux to windows, etc.)

Does anyone know an easy solution for calling java code from python on windows 8, 64 bit?

Answer 1

I have just gotten jpype to work.
