calling J from Python

I have been looking at Python a bit and there is amazing amount of tutorials
available.
My main interest was to be able to call J from Python.

After reading a bit I found a really easy way of calling J

> > > import os
> > > return_code = os.system ('c:\\j601\\jconsole')
  exit +/i.6
> > > return_code
15
> > >

After reading quite a bit of Python it is interesting how similar Python is
in many ways.

It would be interesting to add J examples to the Python material.

The docs I have looked at compare Python quite a bit with VB script,
Javascript and C

Many of the examples given would be interesting to demonstrate in J as well
or in a similar manner.

It is dead easy to let J do more advanced things from Python

> > > return_code = os.system ('c:\\j601\\plot.bat')

C:\Python25>cd \j601

C:\j601>j -jijx system\examples\graphics\plot\plotdemo.ijs
