Hi Justin,

I have managed to get it to work by using the absolute path but with those 
commands saved in another .py file within the list of python paths that 
MAYA is reading from..
As such, my python file is as follows:
import subprocess

def main():
    process = subprocess.Popen(['/bin/meld'], stdout=subprocess.PIPE, 
stderr=subprocess.PIPE)
    stdout, stderr = process.communicate()


One more question though - while I am able to execute my program, I could 
not work on my current maya session until this `meld` tool is closed.
Wondering if this is a common thing when trying to run an external program 
in Maya, or if it is possible to get `meld` to work in the background?
