Question

Is there any library to deserialize with python which is serialized with java?

Answer 1

Java serialisation is a representation of the class/data structures and tightly tied to the virtual machine. Consequently that's going to be difficult to translate to the Python world.

1. Your Java program can serialise/deserialise in XML, which would be translatable. Check out JAXB or XStream
2. Have you looked at the possibility of running in Jython - the Python implementation in Java
