I don't know what ZwCreateProcess is (sounds like a Windows-ism) but I remember using popen() under Java 1.1 in Solaris. That at least allows launching a new process and communicating with it. I don't know if there was anything like mmap. I think this is mostly a question of library functions--you could certainly write JNI extensions for that stuff. > Has this changed in recent Java releases?

I do think they've been adding more stuff for parallelism in general. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
