That's only one possible definition: it has some sort of window. But to wait until a program is "fully open", you might have to wait past a splash screen until it has its actual application window. Or maybe even then, it's not ready for operation. Only the OP can know what defines "fully open". ChrisA -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
