Hello All, It occurred to me that I might just want to try copying the subprocess.py installed in a /usr/lib/python24 installation to the directory where I place the scripts that I need to launch my application...I know this was mentioned earlier. Anyway, my application worked under python 2.3 and later python versions as well. Here is what I did:
I renamed subprocess.py to subprocess23.py and then used the following code: try: import subprocess except ImportError: import subprocess23 as subprocess I chose this route because I took a deeper look at the code in the subprocess module and I also realized that I would not be able to use the popen2, because I would not be able to do things like os.setpgrp for preexec_fn, with popen2. In the end, if I wanted that type of functionality I would have to use os.dup, fork, exec, which meant reinventing the wheel. I overcame the issue of dealing with msvcrt and _subprocess under windows by requiring python24 or greater under windows. Regards, Aquil -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
