Python has been ported to a number of other environments, such as Java and .NET. This means Python can be used in these environments like normal, but gains access to the APIs and code underpinnings for these environments.
Jython is used for Java integration, IronPython is used for the .NET framework, Stackless Python is available for enhanced threading performance, and MicroPython is for use with microcontrollers.

java -jar jython_installer-2.7.1.jar --console
- IronPython can be installed using a Windows
.msi
installer, via a.zip
file, or downloading source code. Installation with the.msi
file is like a normal Windows software...
