I launch my python. Then I write this:

it starts playing for 2 seconds.. and then stops...
if I quit python (ctrl - D)
mplayer continues to run and plays music as it should...
Any ideas?
It looks like the process you start is blocking on standard input or

  os.system("mplayer *.mpg")
do what you want?
