The main reason I ask is that my first attempt to run an existing 'unit test' <wink * 2>, I was
rewarded with...

Traceback (innermost last):
  File "c:\python\jtest.py", line 16, in ?
  File "c:\python\jukebox.py", line 88, in connect
  File "c:\python\jukebox.py", line 160, in __init__
  File "C:\jython\Lib\popen2.py", line 141, in popen2
  File "C:\jython\Lib\popen2.py", line 33, in __init__
AttributeError: class 'org.python.modules.os' has no attribute 'pipe'

So I have to assume that the 'popen2' module has not been implemented.
