Hello,
I need to run a particular graphics application over and over again
with a different command line to get benchmarks on the applications
performance (frame rates and similar data). I am running the following
within a while loop that parses out a different command line from a
configuration file.
############
def runCommand(command):
"""runCommand(command)
Parameters:
command -- the full string of the command to execute
"""
print command
try:
childProcess = subprocess.Popen(command)
done = False
while not done:
returnCode = childProcess.poll()
if (returnCode != None):
done = True
else:
# sleep for 10 seconds before checking again
time.sleep(10)
except KeyboardInterrupt:
print 'KeyboardInterrupt received. Trying to kill Wolf2.exe'
print '>TASKKILL /F /T /PID ', childProcess.pid
killCommand = ''.join(('TASKKILL /F /T /PID ',
str(childProcess.pid)))
killSubProcess = subprocess.Popen(killCommand)
killSubProcess.wait()
sys.exit(0)
except OSError, (errno, strerror):
print 'OS Error (%s): %s' % (errno, strerror)
print 'Above error occurred while executing the following:'
print command
except WindowsError, (errno, strerror):
print 'MS Windows Error (%s): %s' % (errno, strerror)
print 'Above error occurred while executing the following:'
print command
##########
The problem lies in that the second time the application is run, it
doesn't grab focus and go full screen, but sits paused. It will not
continue running until I click on the minimized application in the
taskbar. Is there any way to force it to grab focus?
I am running on Win32 with Python 2.5.1.
Your help in this matter is greatly appreciated,
Mick Charles Beaver
