Can i use jython to import python libraries into java code?

Question

I have written a program in java that controls a Finch robot, using input from a keyboard. The arrow keys control movement, awsd keys control LED colors, and jklm keys control more complicated code like a weather forecast, or a dance. Anyway, I am trying to use the CWiid python library and a raspberry pi to use a Wii remote to control the finch, instead of a keyboard. I know jython can be used to use java classes in python, but can I use it the other way around? or is there an easier way to do this?

I guess your application is a java class, so why don't you import that into jython and feed the data from the Python package to it? — Klaus D.

Klaus D., do you mean write a script in Jython that would use both Java and the python, acting like a bridge instead of directly importing the python into the Java program? — Jgdabble

No, you cannot use Jython to import Python libs into Java code. If you absolutely have to run some Python from your Java program, you'll need to execute the Python interpreter as another process.
