JNI Interface
=============

Synopsis
--------

A pure Python JNI interface using ctypes.
This is mostly a straight-forward mapping of jni.h from C++ to Python's FFI `ctypes`.
There is some additional functionality to manage a singleton JVM and an JNIEnv
object for each thread.

It should be functional enough that you could use it in any project needing a pure
Python JNI interface, but may need some work to be more comprehensive.

More detailed documentation of the C side can be found in the `JNI Specifications`_.
