Use the Gephi Toolkit from Jython

# This gist is a small example of how to use gephi from Jython
# IT IS INCOMPLETE - see below
#
# this is a small include offering only a minimal subset of shortcuts 
# for a couple of Gephi Toolkit controllers. use it at your own risks.
#
# usage:
#
#  1. save this file to gephi.py
#  2. download the gephi toolkit and put it in your java classpath
#  3. from your python app, do:
#
#    from gephi import ProjectController
#    ProjectController().newProject()   
#    workspace = ProjectController().getCurrentWorkspace()
#    print workspace
#


# lookup# some boilerplate code to make life easier
ProjectController().newProject()
from org.openide.util import Lookup
lookup = Lookup.getDefault().lookup
