Accessing Java Api Information With Python

I'm looking for a very simple way, from Python, to get information about Java classes: name of the class what it extends and implements methods with returns types and parameters a

Solution 1:

If your Python code does not make much use of C based libraries you could run the code in Jython which is Python run on the Java VM.

Otherwise you could write a small Java/jython executable that gets the information and writes it to stdout to be read by a CPython program calling it.
