The command string consists of "filename.exe instruction1 instruction2 ..." It works in subprocess, but in process, returns the error "can't find the file instruction1".
How do I pass command line instructions in process.Process? I tried a list ['filename.exe', 'instruction1 instruction2 ...'] with the same result. If you're wondering why I'm switching, it's because I'm working with a poorly behaved 3rd party program that causes a severe memory leak, and I need the process modules timed "wait(n)" method (or write my own).
