You may check out the http://pexpect.sourceforge.net/ module. This gives you pretty good control over running processes. It even allows you to "interact" with them.

When I used the following line to play a midi file in linux,
return_value = os.system('timidity test.mid')
I have encountered two problems. 1. The python script halts until timidity has finished. 2. If I had control of the script, I can't think how I would stop timidity.
Any advice on the 'area' of python I should be looking at would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
