Umm, what OS? And do you have any control over the program running in the subprocess, or is it doing something arbitrary? I.e. I'm wondering if can you do stuff like sharing a file descriptor with the subprocess, or keeping a pipe open. Using a monitor thread doesn't sound too bad, but there may be ways to avoid it. But if you're willing to launch a thread, why not just spawn there without NOWAIT? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
