After some tries, I found a way to make it work, but it's a bit ugly:
Here is the example:
exposed_translate_good works, while exposed_translate_bad does not:
from lib import fileConverter
class MyService(rpyc.Service):
def exposed_translate_bad(self, ...):
fileConverter(...) # opens the converter utility in Popen
def exposed_translate_good(self, ...):
process = subprocess.Popen(["c:\\python31\\python.exe",
'my_script.py', ...], stdout = subprocess.PIPE, stderr = subprocess.PIPE)
process.communicate()
# my_script.py:
# from lib import fileConverter
# fileConverter(...) # opens the converter utility in Popen
