Correct. It can potentially work with it through the JNI.

Here is a package to make that easier:

JCC 2.7: a C++ code generator for calling Java from C++/Python

http://pypi.python.org/pypi/JCC/2.7

Another option is GNU CNI -- have you tried to compile any of your
code with gcj? That would have the advantage of not having to run a
JVM at all.

thanks, i never hear much about this option. I wonder if there are
problems with this approach?

Jeff Whitaker and I started looking into this (JCC), but didn't get too far. The problem is making sure you have all the depends covered. And there are a lot of depends in netCDF-Java. I haven't had a chance to get back and work on this more, though. If anyone else is a python expert and wants to try this, I'd be happy to trade war stories.

I think this would be better than the server option if we can get it working.
