[BioPython] biopython and jython

[Michael Cariaso]

Is anyone running any parts of biopython under jython?

I'm hoping to get biopython compiled into a .jar via jython. At the 
moment jython is unable to import either of Bio.EUtils.HistoryClient or 
DBIdsClient. Specifically I get a ClassCastException during the import. 
Some other modules seem to work.


I expect that biopython's dependence on numpy could also cause problems. 
If so, might JNumeric be used from jython in place of numpy?



Any experiences you've had to indicate if this is feasible would be 
appreciated.
