Tell me, do you know how can i send CTRl+C command from python to terminate this external shell script ?
os.system[1] is not an asynchronous function. It returns as soon as the called command terminates, not earlier.
If you want to execute a command in a subprocess, use subprocess.Popen[2]. You can then later kill this process using Popen.kill()[3].
>>> import subprocess >>> p = suprocess.Popen(["sleep", "10]) # sleep 10 seconds >>> p.kill() Lutz [1] https://docs.python.org/3/library/os.html#os.system [2] https://docs.python.org/3/library/subprocess.html#subprocess.Popen [3] https://docs.python.org/3/library/subprocess.html#subprocess.Popen.kill -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
