• Test launch of Python from Java.
• PyCallable with tuples and kwargs (Used special class to indicate these)
• Reorg exposed symbols so that we don't lock into concrete types.
• PyBuffer needs to have a toBuffer which gives a java.nio.ByteBuffer
• PyType
• PyString
• Lots of testing
• Need a way to throw Python exceptions (currently only wrapped)
• Exception rework (Existing PyExceptionProxy does not have any meaning in Java)
• Automatic reflection of a CPython module.
• builtins can go through the module table rather than dedicated hooks
• Discuss if python.lang can be standard with Jython rework and jep folks.

Progress on this continues to be slow. There it just hard to make much progress when there are so many bugs to trip on that every bug exposes 5 more just to trace down the first. The biggest problem is the exception handling. If you can't properly expose the exceptions to show what went wrong there is little way of making head way.

I made it once through the start up sequence enough to call a function once. But still need to rework exceptions so that they come back to Java with some type information.

Perhaps PyEngine should be in org.jpype rather than python.lang. We should likely restrict the items that we expose under python. to only those formally in Python itself.
