[science-iwg] Python OSGi Services

[Scott Lewis <slewis@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Science working group,

I'm making available a first release of a Py4j-based Remote Services 
provider [1].  This provider is based upon Py4j 0.10.6 and allows OSGi 
services to be implemented in Python and/or Java-implemented services to 
be consumed from Python.   See this tutorial [2] for an example OSGi 
service implemented in Python.

This work is currently being used to implement edge 
analytics...implemented in Python...in an OSGi-based Internet of Things 
gateway.

One of the things I would like to pursue with this group is to create 
services able to exchange January IDatasets with numpy Datasets.

Scott
