The JayDeBeApi module allows you to connect from Python code to databases using Java JDBC. It provides a Python DB-API v2.0 to that database. It works on ordinary Python (cPython) using the JPype Java integration or on Jython to make use of the Java JDBC driver. In contrast to zxJDBC from the Jython project JayDeBeApi let's you access a database with Jython AND Python with only minor code modifications. JayDeBeApi's future goal is to provide a unique and fast interface to different types of JDBC-Drivers through a flexible plug-in mechanism.
