Re: [Jython-users] OSError: [Errno 0] chdir not supported in Java?

[Samuele P. <ped...@bl...>]

No this one is not a bug, 
chdir is not supported by Jython.
Because it is not supported by Java.
We could workaround
but there is no clear win in that.

It should be noted that while Jython is
an implementation of Python and
it is a goal that portable code 
between Python and Jython
(www.anygui.org is example) can be
written,

it is not a goal that Python code
written without thinking about Jython
can be always ported, especially
for shell-programming-like programs.

Jython is Python for Java as a platform
and tries to follow the platform philosophy
without workarounding too much.

So there are tasks for which Python
is good and Jython not so much,
changing this is a low priority thingy.

regards, Samuele Pedroni.
