RE: [Jython-dev] javaos.py

Phil,

I've not tried it, but a couple weeks ago I audited the Ant code just to see
what I needed to pull out and make available in Jython.  It's on my short
list, of course my free time right now is even shorter.  I know they do some
funky stuff with calling out to 'cmd' on Windows and other such magic, but I
think they are able to cover a lot of ground.  Are you going to start
working on it?  I would be willing to help out if you are or I'll work on
when I get some time.

thanks,

brian

I've just learned that ant has the ability to get at environment
variables. The ant solution
(which is in org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.Execute.java)
works by defining CommandLaunchers for each platform.

What I was wondering is, why doesn't jython incorporate
the same mechanism? It seems to me that you should
be able to define os.system, some os.exec variants,
and os.environ with some smart usage of java.lang.Runtime.
This would obviate the need for jnios.

Has anyone already tried this and failed?
