[Py4j-users] Starting/stopping py4j server from within python?

[Thomas N. <tom...@gm...>]

Hello,

What would be the best way for me to start and stop the py4j server from 
within python? I know I could use

 > os.system("java ...")

to start the server. I guess I would need a subprocess for that not to 
block. Then to stop it I could send it a kill signal. Is this the best 
way to do it? Is there a way for me to do this in a less 
directly-managed fashion? This is okay for me, but the users of what I'm 
making probably would have trouble...

Cheers,
Thomas
