I have a similar problem, something which I've never quite understood about subprocess... Suppose I do this:
proc = subprocess.Popen(['ls', '-lR'], stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stderr=subprocess.PIPE) now I created a process, which has a PID, but it's not running apparently... It only seems to run when I actually do the wait. I don't want to make it waiting, so an easy solution is just to use a thread, but is there a way with subprocess? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
