This is kind of announcement what i was working on recently :)

And recently i began to work on Jackrabbit JCR connector that is Java implementation of a facade to JCR utilising Ice communications engine that provides bidirectional cross-language integration service, high-scalable communication platform and this
way Ice Connector allows to interact transparently with JCR from Java, C#, VB, C++, Python, PHP.

Ice, the Internet Communications Engine, is a free high-performance middleware which includes wealth of services and plug-ins:
messaging service, grid compuring and much more.
You can get additional information at http://www.zeroc.com

Currently JCR Ice Connector provides small set of read methods, but more stuff is on the way.  And, yes simple Python client is included :)
You can check the code at:

More information is at:

This will be part of our ongoing effort towards CPS4, so stay tuned :)
