Weave is a runtime solution, but Pyrex and Cython are both compilers (they compile a Python like language to C, which you the compile into a single extension module), and ctypes is in the standard library. Using ctypes would be pretty much just like JNI, except it's dynamic and not horrible. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
