How to convert PyObject to java boolean type

Question

I would like to throw org.python.core.PyObject in java.lang.Boolean. Something like:

boolean i = ((Boolean) PyObject).booleanValue(); 

Answer 1

Just try the following:

 PyObject obj = interpreter.eval("True"); boolean i = ((PyInteger) obj).asInt() != 0; 

Answer 2

You should use a non- Python standard interface interface:

 PyObject obj = interpreter.eval("True"); boolean i = obj.__nonzero__(); 

(it's called "non-zero" because it existed before Python was of a Boolean type, and Guido's ways are sometimes mysterious)
