I have been auto-generating .bat files and then running os.startfile('whatever.bat'). I don't seem to be having much luck when I try other methods. All of a sudden I am stuck in a situation where I need the program that is calling to end and a new program to start (because otherwise I get several uneeded copies).
csoundgrid4.csgrid(arrg1, """;<sco_header>""", filename) with this by executing the main function os3.execvp('python', 'csoundgrid4.py', arrg1, """;<sco_header>""", filename) and the program just ends. I would also be glad to get rid of all the bats that I generate when I run an external program like csound. The command line I run is somthing like csound play.orc play.sco I haven't had much luck using os.startfile with arguments Hopefully this is an easy question and any help would be apreaceated (befour my computer gets rabies) http://www.dexrow.com -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
