Jython ;) You know you want it.

I have been searching now for a while for a way of bridging jython into a bukkit plugin, I gave up and cooked my own and this is what I came up with.

Code:

package com.jakob.jython;

import org.bukkit.plugin.java.JavaPlugin;
import org.python.core.PyObject;
import org.python.util.PythonInterpreter;

import java.util.logging.Logger;
 
public class EmbeddedJython extends JavaPlugin {

    private static final Logger log = Logger.getLogger("Minecraft");
    private PythonInterpreter interpreter;

    public void onEnable() {
        log.info("JythonTest enabled");
        this.interpreter = new PythonInterpreter();
        log.info("Jython interpreter fired up and cooking on gas");

        log.info("Firing exec");
        this.interpreter.exec("b = [a*2 for a in xrange(4)]");
        PyObject result = this.interpreter.get("b");
        log.info(result.toString());
    }

    public void onDisable() {
        log.info("Jython disabled");
    }

}

You will need to build the jar with jython and the latest bukkit build. But it works

See this, as well.

I see people have beaten me to it again
