I am trying to use this so maybe no one has to reply... sorry to
inconvenience anyone.
No inconvenience and I'm glad you posted the solution
you found.
That is pretty much what I had in mind but I didn't know
you could get the _handle from the return value in Popen!
That makes it much easier. I would still tend to run the
execute and wait from a separate thread just in case...
def execute_and_wait(args, timeout=None):
p = subprocess.Popen(args)
if timeout:
ret = WaitForSingleObject(p._handle, timeout)
if ret==WAIT_TIMEOUT:
TerminateProcess(p._handle, 1)
return None
return p.wait()
