Adding Python support to Scala tooling
summary
Scala tooling now runs Python from the JVM using Scalapy embeds CPython via libpython with JNA and python-native-loader, and coursier plus Scala CLI set JVM properties so launch, package, bootstrap and publish work end-to-end (examples run numpy and matplotlib, plotting Corsier data that hits ~500,000 unique IPs/month). Repl use (ripple/ammonite) supports Python interop and a Jedi-based prototype gives ammonite + Jedi completions for Python objects, but reproducible Python packaging and IDE completions in Metals remain missing.
