IronClad equivalent for Jython

Question

For IronPython there is a project - IronClad, that aims to transparently run C extensions in it. Is there a similiar project for Jython?

Answer 1

You can probably use Java's loadLibrary to do that (provided it works in your platform's java). It is in the java library: java.System.loadLibrary().

Note that sometimes you will have to write a wrapper in C and/or in Java depending on the library you want to use and target system, since details are platform dependant. Refer to the documentation for more details.
