Mercurial 1.8.3 on Jython 2.5.2

[Sébastien Deleuze]

OK, understood, I tried to import java module, wich has nothing to do
with posix ou windows modules.

I also tried with import windows, but if I do I got error sine it uses ctypes:

    _kernel32 = ctypes.windll.kernel32
  File "C:\jython2.5.2\Lib\site-packages\mercurial\demandimport.py", line 76, in
 __getattribute__
    return getattr(self._module, attr)
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'windll'

>From what I understand, the only way to make it work is to write a
pure equivalent of posix.py or win32.py.
Do you think it is technicaly possible ?

A major issue may be that java runtime don't care about file
permissions (at least in java6/7, it may be the case in java 8), but
for read only capabilities it may be not an issue for me.

Thanks in advance for your help.
