Jim, testing Jython 2.7.1 beta 3 has been on my todo list since it was released. Running tests now. Already tested that `jython -m pip install robotframework` works fine, so pip issues on Ubuntu based Linuxes seem to be fixed.

What benefits would switching from Python to Java bring in this case? I guess performance benefits aren't that big. I'd probably go with a fix on the Python side if it is easy. Switching to Java would require more changes and more changes would mean more possible bugs.

Do you see problems in adding something like below to __builtin__?

    if os._name == 'nt':
        WindowsError = OSError

It wouldn't be exactly like with CPython, but it would at least satisfy `issubclass(WindowsError, OSError)` contract. Should probably still investigate where copystat actually can fail to see could catching all OSErrors on Windows hide some real problems.
