How do I subclass a Python class in a JCC-wrapped Java module?

In UpLib, I've got a class, uplib.ripper.Ripper, and I'd like to be able
to create a Java subclass for that in my module.  I presume I need a
Java interface for that Python class, but how do I hook the two
together so that the Java subclass can inherit from the Python class?

  - define a Java class with native methods
  - using the usual "extension" tricks have a Python class implement  
these native methods
  - define a subclass of that Java class so as to inherit these native  
implementations

Yes, that's what I thought.  Almost too painful to consider, I'm afraid.

I was thinking of a more dynamic solution, using reflection, but that
seems a bit error-prone.  Problematic contrast beween the cheerful
dynamism of Python and the stern determinism of Java.
