It seems to work fine on posix but we still got problems on Windows where it seems that waiting for pid to show up in the system process list is not enough for considering the process effectively initialized. Anyway, I think it's a problem in our code. Thanks for your help, anyway.
On Windows, I'd just wait on a Windows event. The child process sets it; the parent waits on it. If you need various of them, the parent can pass a suitable id on the commandline to the child. There are alternatives but this one is very easy to achieve. TJG -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
