I found a bit more on my own, plus got some helpful replies, so here's a 
summary:

That does look like a good starting point -- it kind of looks like 
javabridge is its own project, but couldn't find independent references 
to it. But certainly a good place to start. if I wanted to do that sort 
of thing.



GNU CNI:

This looks like a good way to call JAVA from C++, and therefore would be 
pretty easy to leverage for calling JAVA from Cython, for example.

It would also provide the advantage of not having to have it rely on a 
particular JVM being installed -- you could deliver the gcj runtime 
along with your binaries.

Ah -- very nice -- I should have thought to search Pypi directly!

That does look to be pretty much exactly what I'm looking for.
