Installation from sources

Prerequisites for building PemJa:

Unix-like environment (we use Linux, Mac OS X), Windows
Git
Maven (we recommend version 3.2.5 and require at least 3.1.1)
Java 8 or 11 (Java 9 or 10 may work) with $JAVA_HOME set correctly
Python >= 3.8 (we recommend version 3.8, 3.9, 3.10, 3.11, 3.12, 3.13)

NOTE for windows:

Microsoft Visual C++ 14.0 or greater is required. Get it with "Microsoft C++ Build Tools"
The compressed package in folder dist must be uncompressed and use the following command to install pip install dist/$packageName$

git clone https://github.com/alibaba/pemja.git
cd pemja
mvn clean install -DskipTests
pip install -r dev/dev-requirements.txt
python setup.py sdist
pip install dist/*.tar.gz

Usage

String path = ...;
PythonInterpreterConfig config = PythonInterpreterConfig
    .newBuilder()
    .setPythonExec("python3") // specify python exec, use "python" on Windows
    .addPythonPaths(path) // add path to search path
    .build();

PythonInterpreter interpreter = new PythonInterpreter(config);

// set & get
interpreter.set("a", 12345);
interpreter.get("a"); // Object
interpreter.get("a", Integer.class); // Integer

// exec & eval
interpreter.exec("print(a)");

// invoke functions
interpreter.exec("import str_upper");
String result = interpreter.invoke("str_upper.upper", "abcd");
// Object invoke(String name, Object... args);
// Object invoke(String name, Object[] args, Map<String, Object> kwargs);

// invoke object methods
/*
// invoke.py
class A:
       def __init__(self):
           self._a = 0
   
       def get_value(self):
           return self._a
   
       def add(self, n):
           self._a += n
   
       def add_all(self, *args):
           for item in args:
               self._a += item
               return self._a
   
       def minus(self, n):
           self._a -= n
           return self._a
*/

interpreter.exec("import invoke");
interpreter.exec("a = invoke.A()");
interpreter.invokeMethod("a", "add", 3);
interpreter.invokeMethod("a", "minus", 2);
interpreter.invokeMethod("a", "add_all", 1, 2, 3);


// python callback java methods
/*
// invoke_callback.py
from pemja import findClass

StringBuilder = findClass('java.lang.StringBuilder')
Integer = findClass('java.lang.Integer')

def callback_java():
    sb = StringBuilder()
    sb.append('pemja')
    sb.append('java')
    sb.append('python')
    sb.append(Integer.toHexString(Integer.MAX_VALUE))
    return sb.toString()

print(interpreter.invoke("call_back.callback_java"))
