That's an interesting take of the Python and Java relationship and although it complements well the landscape (with Jython, JPype, Pyjnius, and Py4J), I'm not sure what the need is. (shameless plug warning) When I created Py4J (http://py4j.sourceforge.net/ http://py4j.sourceforge.net/), I wanted to decouple the two ecosystems as much as possible so that both could evolve independently. There is no jni, no re-implementation of bytecode or interpreter, just plain sockets working on linux, mac, windows and most versions of Python and Java.
