JCC in fact generates two layers of wrappers, C++ to JNI and CPython types to
C++. If you don't specify --python on the JCC command line no python wrappers
nor python support code is generated.
So yes, this is possible and even intended. That being said no one has used it
that way yet and some digging and programming is going to be necessary, for
example with regards to the JVM and JNI init code.
Feel free to ask questions on this list but be prepared to familiarize yourself
with the JNI side of things.
