title: Is there an actual jython to bytecode compiler à la nuitka?
body: <p>While Jython offers a neat way to access Java from within Python-ish code, its bytecode works with <code>PyObject</code>s etc. and in order to let a Java programm interact with a Jython program, one has to put in <a href="http://www.jython.org/jythonbook/en/1.0/JythonAndJavaIntegration.html#using-jython-within-java-applications" rel="nofollow">some extra effort</a> such as writing an object factory.</p>
  
  <p>But is there a way to obtain a <code>.class</code> file from Jython code that basically is a valid Java class, i.e. uses Jython's magic at compile time rather than at runtime, similar to <a href="/questions/tagged/nuitka" class="post-tag" title="show questions tagged &#39;nuitka&#39;" rel="tag">nuitka</a>. I understand <a href="http://www.jython.org/Project/jythonc.html" rel="nofollow">javac</a> was supposed to do this but is now deprecated.</p>
  
  <p>Or should I simply stick with pure Jython and write Java interfaces?</p>
