# The Orekit Python Wrapper # The Orekit Python Wrapper
The Orekit python wrapper enables to use Orekit within a normal Python environment. This is done by creating a wrapper around the java library using the [JCC](http://lucene.apache.org/pylucene/jcc/) tool that provides a gateway between the java engine and python. The wrapped orekit will be t a large extent behave like a python module, with some caveats due to difference in architecture between Java and Python.
