execute

i'm trying to execute a file without replacing the current process,
but after searching the help file, documentations and the web, i can't
a way of doing that.

os.exec*() will close the current program.

ps: by executing i mean like typing "mspaint" in run dialog.. it's not
a python file

On *nix, you can use os.fork(). According to
http://effbot.org/libraryb... , you can use os.spawn to
accomplish a similar effect on Windows, although I haven't used it.
Also, you might check the subprocess module --
http://docs.python.org/lib/module-subpr... .

Do you mean, and block for the process to terminate? Or do you mean,
do something else in the meantime, perhaps for a certain amount (of
meantime)?

[Enter event loops. Exeunt.]

P.S. What do you do if you think of a comeback for something from a
week ago on the newsgroup?

P.P.S. Why are you thinking of comebacks on a newsgroup besides
alt.flame?

P.P.P.S. Anyone read alt.tasteless?

Have a look at the subprocess module.
