A long story made short, I've build a python/cgi website consisting of two pages. Page1 has a html form in which you can input a series of queries. Then via Popen it starts a pythons search script, which stores the results in a python shelve. As the Popen command is given it should redirect to page2, which will check if the shelve is ready (search finished) and if not displays a search page, refreshing itself after 10 seconds. The Popen command works nice when tried out in the console. The script isueing the Popen quits, and the other process keeps on running till finished. But when embedded in page1.cgi, page 1 waits till the search is finished, resulting in a browser timeout when big queries are done. It was this problem in the first place why I split up the page in two and added Popen. Does anybody know how to get the page not waiting on Popen to finish?
