Hi Ed,
this is possible. Example:
def foo(a, b, c):
command = "./myprogramm arg1 arg2"
process = subprocess.Popen(command, shell=True,
stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stderr=subprocess.PIPE)
process.wait()
def foo_async(a, b, c):
import threading
t = threading.Thread(target=foo, args=(a, b, c))
t.setDaemon(1)
t.start()
Hope that helps.
Cheers,
Thomas
