Could you explain what that replacement (in Python or anything else)
needs to do?  Are you asking for a program that launches ../Src/zsh in a
pty and then writes the stty(1) 'susp' character to that pty?  (At this
point the program could just send SIGTSTP directly, too; I'm not sure
if that's an option.)
