independent of Simon's answer and dbus-java, if you have a need to code in Java to access a Python
(actually any) dbus service on Windows and short of any other options, you could do something
"crazy" like using via Java another scripting language (ooRexx) to interact via dbus with a Python
service on Windows. For such a solution (available for Windows, Linux and MacOSX) you would have to
install ooRexx, the ooRexx Java bridge BSF4ooRexx (allows Java to interact with ooRexx and vice
versa) and dbus4oorexx once. Once installed and operational you could then use all dbus services in
an easy manner from Java, as the typing needs would be transparently managed between Java and ooRexx
and the dbus service. Therefore there would be no need for Java to create and compile skeleton Java
classes just to interact with dbus services.

If this option sounds interesting for you to explore, then contact me directly, unless there would
be others for whom such a solution might be interesting as well, should the Java dbus binding not be
updated. (If interested, I could also come up with a small Java example to demonstrate interacting
with a dbus service using ooRexx as a bridge such that you can judge how easy or complicated that
would be.)
