Java Embedded Python embeds CPython in Java. It is safe to use in a heavily threaded environment, it is quite fast and its stability is a main feature and goal.
Main features:
- Using the native Python interpreter may mean a massive speed improvement over Java-based languages.
- Python is mature so authors neednt fear the interpreter will suddenly change widely-used features.
- Access to the high quality Python modules, both native and Python-based.
- Compilers and assorted Python tools are as mature as the language.
- Python is an ideal language for your business logic. It is easy to learn, eminently readable and generally immune to programming gotchas.
Patches, comments and other help is greatly appreciated. If you need help, post to the SourceForge mailing list or forums. Please include code snippets for the most accurate response.

IronPython is an implementation of Python running on Microsoft .NET / Mono. It supports an interactive interpreter with fully dynamic compilation.

IronPython is well integrated with the rest of the framework and makes all .NET libraries easily available to Python programmers.

Python is an interpreted, interactive, object-oriented programming language. Python is often compared to Perl, Tcl, Scheme or Java.

Python combines remarkable power with very clear syntax. It has modules, classes, exceptions, very high level dynamic data types, and dynamic typing. There are interfaces to many system calls and libraries, as well as to various windowing systems (X11, Motif, Tk, Mac, MFC). New built-in modules are easily written in C or C++. Python is also usable as an extension language for applications that need a programmable interface.

The Python implementation is portable: it runs on many brands of UNIX, on Windows, OS/2, Mac, Amiga, and many other platforms. If your favorite system isnt listed here, it may still be supported, if theres a C compiler for it.

The Python implementation is copyrighted but freely usable and distributable, even for commercial use.

Python is an interpreted, object-oriented, high-level programming language with dynamic semantics. Its high-level built in data structures, combined with dynamic typing and dynamic binding, make it very attractive for Rapid Application Development, as well as for use as a scripting or glue language to connect existing components together.

Pythons simple, easy to learn syntax emphasizes readability and therefore reduces the cost of program maintenance. Python supports modules and packages, which encourages program modularity and code reuse. The Python interpreter and the extensive standard library are available in source or binary form without charge for all major platforms, and can be freely distributed.

Often, programmers fall in love with Python because of the increased productivity it provides. Since there is no compilation step, the edit-test-debug cycle is incredibly fast. Debugging Python programs is easy: a bug or bad input will never cause a segmentation fault. Instead, when the interpreter discovers an error, it raises an exception.

When the program doesnt catch the exception, the interpreter prints a stack trace. A source level debugger allows inspection of local and global variables, evaluation of arbitrary expressions, setting breakpoints, stepping through the code a line at a time, and so on.

The debugger is written in Python itself, testifying to Pythons introspective power. On the other hand, often the quickest way to debug a program is to add a few print statements to the source: the fast edit-test-debug cycle makes this simple approach very effective.

VPython is a 3D graphics library for Python, designed to permit novice programmers to write scientific graphics programs.
VPython is a package that includes the following modules:
the Python programming language
the IDLE interactive development environment
"Visual", a Python module that offers real-time 3D output, and is easily usable by novice programmers
"Numeric", a Python module for fast processing of arrays
VPython is free and open-source.
Enhancements:
- Mikhail Temkine fixed some bugs, implemented new lighting for boxes, and implemented keyboard input for Windows.

Thousand Parsec Python Server is a server for Thousand Parsec written in Python and using a SQL back end.

Thousand Parsec Python wxWindows Client allows a high degree of player customization, and features a flexible technology system, where new technologies may be introduced mid-game.

Thousand Parsec is a framework for turn based space empire building games.

Some examples of games which Thousand Parsec draws ideas from are, Stars!, VGA Planets, Master of Orion and Galactic Civilizations. These games are often called 4 Xs from the main phases found in the games, eXplore, eXpand, eXploit and eXterminate. If you havent heard of them, other games which are a bit similar include, Civilisation, Heros of Might and Magic and Starcraft.

Thousand Parsec includes everything you need for play any of the currently running games, set up your own game using already designed games, and building your own space empire building game.
