Hi

We are trying to run some scripts on a Win2k3 box using Jython 2.1 and 
running into problems because this OS doesn't seem to be supported, 
atleast in some of the modules. For example, in javaos.py there is a line

os = java.lang.System.getProperty("os.name")

which results in os being set to "Windows 2003" on Win2k3. Subsequently, 
there is a check for OS in the function and because it doesn't recognize 
Win2k3, it tries to run a "sh" shell which fails on Windows. Our current 
workaround is to install Cygwin so that "sh" works on a Windows machine.

I was wondering if anyone knows what to do to resolve this issue. Is there 
a version of Jython that has been ported to work on win2k3 or is there one 
planned?

Thanks for any information.

Ravi

PS.

From javaos.py

def _getOsType( os=None ):
"""Select the OS behavior based on os argument, 'python.os' registry
setting and 'os.name' Java property.
os: explicitly select desired OS. os=None to autodetect, os='None' to
disable
"""
os = os or sys.registry.getProperty( "python.os" ) or java.lang.System.getProperty( "os.name
" )
_osTypeMap = (
( "nt", r"(nt)|(Windows NT)|(Windows NT 4.0)|(WindowsNT)|"
r"(Windows 2000)|(Windows XP)|(Windows CE)" ),
( "dos", r"(dos)|(Windows 95)|(Windows 98)|(Windows ME)" ),
( "mac", r"(mac)|(MacOS.*)|(Darwin)" ),
( "None", r"(None)" ),
( "posix", r"(.*)" ), # default - posix seems to vary mast widely
)
for osType, pattern in _osTypeMap:
if re.match( pattern, os ):
break
return osType

...
...
...
...

elif _osType == "posix":
_shellCmd = ["sh", "-c"]
_envCmd = "env"
