Answer 1

One possible solution is jpype. This allows you to launch a JVM from Python and pass data back and forth between them.

Another solution may be to write the Python program as a filter (reading data from stdin and writing result to stdout) then run it as a pipe. However I do not know how well Java supports this - according to the Sun docs their concept of pipes only supports communication between threads on the same JVM.
