Re: [Jython-dev] Missing os.chdir()

[Lars H. N. <lh...@so...>]

Hi Brian,

Thank you for your quick reply.

It is correct that Java seems to have no notion of a current directory 
besides the directory in which the jvm was started. This means that a 
perfect solution is not possible. However, a solution which would make 
normal (no java.io.... calls) python scripts work correctly is possible. 
Jython should maintain it own notion of current directory, file names 
should be changed to absolute before calling java.

Jacl (Tcl java) has solved the problem in this way, a find-grep in their 
sources showed only a handfull of places in which they referred to 
current directory.
