Hi python experts

After lots of suggestions I have as last tried programming in python. I have the following code snippet which when called displays a selected image using qiv.

    def file_ok_sel(self, w):
        
print "%s" % self.filew.get_filename() # displays file name on xterm
        # create cmd to display image - qiv + filenm
        self.filenm = "qiv %s" % self.filew.get_filename()
        # display image
        os.system (self.filenm)

My problem is that the python code hangs until the image (qiv) is killed whereas I wish the image to stay displayed while the python app continues running.

Google produces lots of answers, none of which I can understand. What alt should I make to the code?

TIA

Barry
