Hello Rajat, I would take a look at the thread below, it might help it might not: http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.python/browse_thread/thread/4505613f014fdec7/3ee15c9c88a5efdc?hl=en#3ee15c9c88a5efdc Also, if you post a larger section of the code I might be able to give you a hand. Once you've run the testing = subprocess.Popen() make sure you use a testing.wait() -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
