Re: Use Python libs or Java libs

Thanks  Jim for replying .

It is great news that sqlite3 is coming to jython. I am sure it will make
alot of people happy.

Pygame is something I wish to mess out with at some point , seams like an
easy way to work with graphics.

Swing is all nice and cool ,  and integrates perfectly with JAVA2D which
expands its capabilities . But I always like to keep my options open. I am
new with wxPython, and would like to try pyGTK . I cannot comment on
wxPython abilities but it seems to me easier to handle than Swing.

One more question , how can I connect a python and jython program ? I know
that jython follows closely the python syntax or should I say to the letter?
So I was wondering if the two could work together without too many steps.

Thanks for all the help!!!!
