[Zope-dev] A modest proposal: Replace medusa with Twisted

[Tim Hoffman]

There is another approach however for getting Java and Zope together

A few weeks back I was mucking around with the Python Java Extension
(see Python 9 proceedings) and was able to interact with Java 
classes/instances directly from Zope by calling ExternalMethods.  PJE 
basically allows the Java vm to be loaded into the python interpreter.
