Hi Oti

Thanks for the response. You're right that I could probably change the 
script and get it to work, however the script is not something I wrote. It 
is part of the "os" module, and ships inside jython-lib.jar in Jython 2.1. 
I don't think the license lets us modify the jar and redistribute it. The 
other issue of course is that there may be many places where such a change 
is needed, and I would much rather something "official" came out of 
www.jython.org rather than us trying to hack something together!

Thanks

Ravi
