[Jython-users] os.popen question/bug?

[Brian S. <br...@mb...>]

I'm trying to issue commands to the underlying OS from jython 2.0 using 
the commands module. (I apologize if I'm mixing up some terminology 
here...I'm very new to Python) The catch is that the method 'popen' 
seems to be missing. Here's a transcript of my session:

 >>> import commands
 >>> commands.getoutput('ls')
Traceback (innermost last):
   File "<console>", line 1, in ?
   File "/u/brian/apps/jython-20/Lib/commands.py", line 42, in getoutput
   File "/u/brian/apps/jython-20/Lib/commands.py", line 51, in 
getstatusoutput
AttributeError: class 'org.python.modules.os' has no attribute 'popen'

Is this a bug or am I missing something? If it's a bug does someone have 
a workaround/fix?

Thanks in advance
