How to Get Started

[maven-logo]

1. Add GraalPy as a dependency from Maven Central

<dependency>
  <groupId>org.graalvm.polyglot</groupId>
  <artifactId>polyglot</artifactId>
  <version>24.1.0</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
  <groupId>org.graalvm.polyglot</groupId>
  <artifactId>python</artifactId>
  <version>24.1.0</version>
  <type>pom</type>
</dependency>


[gradle-log]

or

  implementation("org.graalvm.polyglot:polyglot:24.1.0")
  implementation("org.graalvm.polyglot:python:24.1.0")

2. Embed Python code in Java

import org.graalvm.polyglot.Context;

try (Context context = Context.create()) {
    context.eval("python", "print('Hello from GraalPy!')");
}

3. Add GraalPy plugins for additional Python packages (optional)

<plugin>
  <groupId>org.graalvm.python</groupId>
  <artifactId>graalpy-maven-plugin</artifactId>
  <version>24.1.0</version>
  <executions>
    <execution>
      <configuration>
        <packages>
          <!-- Select Python packages to install via pip. -->
          <package>pyfiglet==1.0.2</package>
        </packages>
      </configuration>
      <goals>
        <goal>process-graalpy-resources</goal>
      </goals>
    </execution>
  </executions>
</plugin>

Using Python from Java with GraalVM

GraalPy brings the world of Python data science libraries to Java and
other languages running on GraalVM. Using GraalVM's polyglot
interfaces, it is now easier than ever to embed Python code in Java
applications and with good performance to boot! Oracle GraalVM also
includes sandboxing option to run Python native extensions like
NumPy, SciPy, or Matplotlib in a managed Java application.
