Jython is a version of Python written in Java and designed to run under the JVM. Because of this, it integrates closely with Java, and allows Jython programs access to all of the Java libraries. There are several reasons that Java programmers might be interested in learning Jython:
It provides an alternative to Javascript for interacting with Java, and is in many ways more powerful than Javascript. Most would also agree it is much easier to use than Javascript.
It is very easy to embed the Jython interpretor as a scripting or application control language in your Java applications.
It allows more rapid prototyping, and/or "proof of concept" applications than is possible in Java.
