CPython from Java?

I need to call CPython code from Java. What tools/APIs/libraries exist out there to help me do this?

Jython is not an option since the Python code is heavily dependent upon numpy.

edit 1: The main() function should be Java, not Python (i.e. I need to embed CPython into Java, not vice versa.)

edit 2: I should also mention that I'll be passing large numeric arrays between Java and Python and therefore a solution that brings the two into the same process space would be preferable (but not mandatory.)

You can take a look at using Jepp to embed CPython into Java. Read documentation here.

edit: For windows the project has prebuilt binaries for Python 2.4, 2.5, and 2.6. For Linux/Unix systems, you have to build it yourself.

You probably want to read the docs on embedding a CPython interpreter. Also, on how to load native libraries in Java (was that called JNI?)
