Well, it all depends on the exact deployment scenario you;re facing.

If you're java program can be embedded dinside hte python scripts, then 
JPype (see my sig at the bottom of this post) can certainly help you.

Otherwise ... Is there a java way to "access" you java program from 
outside it's process? I mean things like RMI servers, or EJBs. If so, 
again JPype can take the place of a "java" client.

If not, there is no magic. You must first find a way to contact you Java 
process. If that remote-call technology is "standard", i.e. Something 
like SOAP or XML-RPC, then you can find a python technology to access 
it. If its not standard, but tehre is a Java way to use it, Again jpype 
can be your friend.

If you can tell us more about the nature of each program (Python and 
Java) we may be better able to help you.
