spawn process in a new console window

2007-03-14 Thread eglaser 
Hello,

I have a script that launches a sequence of other programs, some GUI,
some console.  I'd like the console programs to launch in their own
console window, instead of all of them sharing the script's console.
How do I do that?

I'm on Windows, and currently I'm using os.spawnl(...) to launch the
programs.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,

Eli

Greg,

Thanks for the tip.  I will check out subprocess.

It looks like 'start' might be exactly what I need.  Thanks.
