The @PyMethod annotation can be used on a constructor or method in a Java class to customize the behavior of Jep when the method is called from Python. The most notable customization is the ability to pass kwargs from Python to Java. Jep will
automatically convert the kwargs to a PyObject or Map. It is still possible for a Java method to accept varargs from Python using Java style varargs syntax but the @PyMethod provides an additional way to specify a Java method accepts varargs that enables mixing varargs and kwargs.
For example the following Java method signature shows a method that can be
called from Python using both varargs and kwargs:
::
@PyMethod(varargs=true, kwargs=true)
public void exampleMethod(Object[] varargs, Map<String,Object> kwargs) {
// do stuff
}
