Implements clamp in Python. Pre-alpha version - API subject to change.

You need to install. Soon this will be on PyPI, before then, in the checkout directory:

$ jython27 setup.py install

Example project using this package: https://github.com/jimbaker/clamped

(NOTE: example project needs to be updated!!!!)

The clamp project supports setuptools integration:

To create a jar in site-packages/jars and register this new jar in site-packages/jar.pth:

$ jython27 setup.py build_jar

To create a single jar version of the current Jython installation (such as a virtualenv). This setup.py custom command will use the project name as the base for the jar:

$ jython27 setup.py singlejar

To create a single jar version of the current Jython installation, you can also run this script, which is installed in Jython's bin directory. By default, the jar is named jython-single.jar. Use --help for more info:

$ bin/singlejar # same, but outputs jython-single.jar, 

• Add support for variadic constructors of clamped classes, that is something like new BarClamp(Object...)

• Provide basic support for annotations

• Extend setup.py support of install so that it can use build_jar; see http://www.niteoweb.com/blog/setuptools-run-custom-code-during-install for some ideas

• Annotation magic? It would be nice to import annotations into Python, use as class decorators and function decorators, and then still compile a Java class that works.

• Instance fields support, comparable to __slots__, but baked into the emitted Java class.
