How can I run a Jython script with Python

I am programming in Python(2.7), processing a bunch of data. And I've got a software, what I have to use, and I want to start it automatically, and fill it up with data.

The problem is, that I cant open it with Python, because it has API only for Jython.

My question is, that how could I run a Jython script from a Python code(actually I am working on a standalone software)? Is it even possible?

If it is, could you please give me a short example? How to install Jython and how to run a file from python?

You can simply use Jython to run everything.

Having my_script.py and jython_script.py edit my_script.py by adding import jython_script and adding call jython_script.some_function().

# my_script.py
import jython_script

def my_function_using_some_function_from_jython_script():
    ...
    jython_script.some_function()
    ...

Then simply call:

jython my_script.py

I assume you do not use modules that work only with CPython.
