[Jython-users] How to use the execute() method in javaos

[Hugh R. <rod...@ag...>]

Hello -

I have been trying to use the javaos.execute() method for
some time now, unsuccessfully. I basically wanted to do the
following:

        import os
        os.execute( "f:\tests\HelloWorld" )

where HelloWorld is my compiled and working Java
application. I always get

        AttributeError: class 'org.python.modules.os' has no
attribute 'execute'

I have researched this mailing lists archives for this bug
and have seen several posts. But I *have* confirmed that I
am finding javaos on my classpath (I added a print statement
in javaos.py and see it printed). I noticed that execute()
is a method within _ShellEnv class of javaos. So I guess I
do not have access to it? Am I then "forced" to implement
the execute() method in my own .py file? I confirmed that
other os function calls work. e.g., os.getcwd(), which are
in the __all__ of javaos. I have printed sys.path and see
the jython Lib directory in it.

I'm relatively new to Jython so any help/comments are
appreciated.
