The processing module has two ways of creating a new process which executes the same program of the current process: - fork - the moral equivalent of popen(sys.executable sys.argv[0]) + some magic values passed on the command line which is a pickled state. The second method doesn't work out-of-the-box when the program is packaged, and it is the only one available in Windows. -- Giovanni Bajo Develer S.r.l. http://www.develer.com _______________________________________________ Python-3000 mailing list Python-3000@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-3000 Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-3000/archive%40mail-archive.com
