RE: Glueing Java, Python, C++ together

I've have a lot of success with using SWIG to wrap C++ classes into Java
which are then accessible from Jython. With careful %renaming you can get
very effective usage. For example, const/non-const method pairs in C++ can
be wrapped to Java Bean style getters and setters in Java. These are then
accessible using Jython's Bean access as something very close to the
original C++ method names. I don't have the code to hand but something like:

C++ :

class Type {
    int property() const;
    void property(int);
};

Java :

class Type {
    int getProperty();
    setProperty(int);
};

Jython :

t = Type();
t.property = 5   # set
s = t.property   # get
