I have a small multi-threaded program that spawns a number of threads that each spawn a particular process in a particular temporary directory. My problem is that using os.chdir to change the working directory before popening the process doesn't always work because another thread might change the cwd as it starts, before the process in this thread can start up.
I'm currently using popen2.Popen4. Is there a way to properly specify a particular working directory when launching a process in python? I've hacked around my problem by writing a bash wrapper script that accepts the working directory as a parameter, changes the directory, then spawns the original program with the arguments. This works, but I'd like a better way. Michael -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
