Generate Python definition (.pyi file) based on Java interfaces

[smartcmd]

I saw #438 and I wonder if it is currently possible to do the reverse? That is, generate the corresponding Python definition (.pyi file) based on the Java interface to facilitate syntax highlighting and static code analysis? If not, are there any further plans for this?

Specifically, I plan to make a python-based plug-in/script system for my java project, where users can call java interfaces by writing python scripts. If the generation of pyi files can be realized, users can get syntax prompts, static type checking and many other benefits when writing python code.

Hi @smartcmd, there are currently no tools to do it, nor immediate plans AFAIK. We'll consider it for the future, it's an interesting idea, thanks for the suggestion

@mikehearn has some prototype of this, so there may be something in the not too far future.

Glad to hear that!
