Installing JPype
Jython is the default interoperability solution for Python and Java. However, Jython runs on the Java Virtual Machine, and therefore, cannot access NumPy modules because they are mostly written in C. JPype is an open-source project that tries to solve this problem. The interfacing occurs on the native level between the Python and Java virtual machines. Let's install JPype.
