Using Python code in Java on App Engine

Question

Can I use Python code in Java on App Engine? What I mean is I am using Java to develop my App Engine cloud, but I need to include some Python code in it. How might I do that?

Why?

I need to Generate Dynamic Content using Jinja2. There is no equivalent in Java. So I was hoping to be able to just do it in Python and include it in my Java code.

No I have never used JSP but I will look into it. With Jinja2 I get a String back and I can do whatever I want with it, such as saving the String to my data store and then serve my html from my datastore (sort of like a deep memcache) can I do the same with JSP? — Katedral Pillon

I didn't try, but I'm sure it's possible. For strings there're better alternatives, such as StringTemplate and Apache Velocity, and actually many others — Igor Artamonov

No you can't run Python code if you are using Java, or vise versa, since App Engine is running in a sandbox and you are not allowed to run anything else other than Java in your case.
