[Pydev-code] Running external scripts from Jython

[Anders D. <an...@da...>]

Hi all!

I've just started to dabble with the Jython-scripting of PyDev, trying to
get a hang of it. What I'm trying to accomplice is unit testing whenever a
python module is saved.

Reacting to save events and getting all the necessary paths was fairly easy
(for a Jython and Eclipse n00b) but I hit trouble when I tried to save
myself some coding and instead leverage an existing test runner "nose" [1].
It simply do not run under Jython (dang!). So my brilliant plan B (I
thought) was to run it under CPython using the os.command module. Turns out
that Jython doesn't have a popen() (dang again!).

So my question is:

* Is it possible to run "nose" using the CPython interpreter from within a
Jython for PyDev script?
