Have you tried using the creationflags argument to subprocess.Popen? Specially the CREATE_NEW_CONSOLE flag. See the Microsoft documentation for CreateProcess at http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms682425(VS.85).aspx (Note that a process can be attached at most to one console) If your goal is to output some debug information, try using OutputDebugString + the DebugView utility from www.sysinternals.com -- Gabriel Genellina -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
