# 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.
Using Orekit in python provides access to a large number of python libraries and an interactive environment, similar to tools like matlab and mathematica.
