Thanks for replies. Putting the ampersand in the 3rd line thus

        "qiv %s" % self.filew.get_filename()

did the trick

The exercise is to persuade a file selector to display images. I'm learning.

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

Without knowing what you are trying to do, adding an ampersand to the
end of your command line will work.
