This won't work. If it works at all, you'll have to use the C interface 
of both Python and Java. Using JNI in a Java applet, if at all possible, 
needs serious hacking of your Java and Browser environment.

There sure is a very simple solution to your problem. Except we don't 
know what the problem actually is. So please try to describe it.

Do you need to somehow communicate between a Python script and a Java 
applet? Then one of XML-RPC, SOAP, CORBA will do the trick. If you have 
complex data structures, AFAIK CORBA is best.
