" summary

A tool that analyzes foreign-language code and produces usable Java interfaces for GraalVM interop, using the mypy API type extractor to pull function, field and inheritance metadata and mapping unannotated types to java.lang.Object. It renames reserved identifiers, generates Java factory functions for Python constructors instead of real constructors, implements Python multiple inheritance as Java interfaces, handles unions with a wrapper, and has working prototypes for TypeScript and WebAssembly.
