Jython is an implementation of the high-level, dynamic, object-oriented
language Python written in 100% Pure Java, and seamlessly integrated with
the Java platform. It thus allows you to run Python on any Java platform.
"""distutils.spawn
Provides the 'spawn()' function, a front-end to various platform-
specific functions for launching another program in a sub-process.
Also provides the 'find_executable()' to search the path for a given
executable name.

There is no way to run a program with a name different from that of its
executable.

search path will be used to find the program; otherwise, cmd[0]
must be the exact path to the executable. If 'dry_run' is true,
the command will not actually be run.
