I use popen.popen2 or popen.popen3 to start a new process and read from it's stdout/ write to it's stdin. But I need a way to know when a process terminates.
Do you know about a library that provides these tools other then the standard os module... or should I use it otherwise?
popen2.Popen3, popen2.Popen4 and subprosess.Popen have poll/wait methods.
These will do what you're looking for.
