RE: [Jython-dev] jythons module os

[Phil S. <psu...@es...>]

I was hoping to do a lazy initialization thing. 

I'm open to suggestions as to how to do it... 
I haven't actually written anything yet and I'm working
on writing some jython tasks for ant first. 

My thoughts were to create a class that implements all the
dictionary things - __getitem__ etc - and populate
the dictionary the first time any of these are called.

By cribbing from ant I should be able to put in support 
for a read-only environment for unices and win32.
I haven't thought writing through yet, but I figure 
reading will hit a large percentage of the use cases.

I hope you and/or someone else find some time to look into it, it would
be a valuable addition. I'm not sure what the right way to enable the
os.environment should be. It isn't right to fill the os.environment dict
whenever "os" is imported, that would be way to slow for all the program
that never uses any enviroment variables. Any thoughts?

Any volunteers?
