Jython: Functionality equivalent to popen()

[Irene]

I see that it is a known bug that os.popen() is not implemented in
Jython.  Does anyone have any suggestions for a workaround or any
other way of sending a command to the command line or an idea of when
it might be implemented?

I know, I know, if you are going to complain about something, you
should just implement it yourself, but I wouldn't even have a clue
where to begin. :)
