6:1 seems to be in the Java to Python range, specially if you do a lot of getters and setters.

That's a design choice, but even if you always use getters and setters in Java and never in Python, the program would have to consist exclusively of getters and setters to get you to 2:1 (or 3:1 if you count closing brace lines).

What makes Java code look bloated is a culture of overdesign, not so much the language itself.
