Can JEP alone do the job?

[skn]

Requirement

==========

A JAVA Server(RMI Sever) has to invoke some Python scripts.

These Python scripts in turn have to make some JAVA API calls. The JAVA APIs
will be provided by custom Java Classes and Interfaces.

I should be able to receive the "Output" from the Python script into my JAVA
server.

"Output" can either be:-

1) std out from Python (print statements inside Python script)

OR

2) Python Objects

Questions

========

From the initial literature study, I think I can achieve this ONLY using
JEP?

However I also find that there is another Integrator "JPype".

My question is what do I miss if I don't use JPype?

What extra does JPype have?

Basically I want to avoid too many Integration technologies and use ONLY JEP
(or possibly ONLY JPype.)
