This can be very useful. I wonder what the plans are for supporting C apis, given that a lot of Python core libraries depend on C, in my neck of the woods numpy and scipy being the first contenders. There are long running projects http://www.jython.org and http://www.jyni.org, which, to the best of my knowledge, have not yet managed to fully support Python C extensions on the JVM.

They could run the C extensions on the JVM too, like the experimental jruby truffle backend does.

A Python and Truffle implementation already exists https://bitbucket.org/ssllab/zippy

I'm guessing none given it doesn't look to support Python's stdlib in the first place. The project seems to be quite literally what it says on the tin: it compiles Python bytecode to Java bytecode.
