In this case I don't see that you need to call multiple programs simultaneously. You call 'wrenv.exe', then when and if it completes successfully you call 'make clean'. Calling multiple programs sequentially should be straightforward. What, specifically, is going wrong? Python's subprocess module rocks on Unix, and provides some useful corresponding features that are easily available on MS Windows. If your job is to rock on Windows, don't commit to modules devoted to rockin' on Unix. Python has multiple ways to run "wrenv.exe", then "make clean". In particular, check out os.system. -- --Bryan -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
