Start the application in a separate console (using `start "" bat_file`
might be the easiest way) and then, within your Python script, wait
until the new process is ready. The wmi module by Tim Golden can help
<http://tgolden.sc.sabren.com/python/wmi.html>
e.g. wait until Microsoft Word opens:
import wmi
c = wmi.WMI()
while not len(c.Win32_Process(name="winword.exe")):
sleep(500)
Just for information's sake, you can do this
a little more neatly in WMI:
<code>
import wmi
c = wmi.WMI ()
word_watcher = c.Win32_Process.watch_for (name="winword.exe")
winword = word_watcher ()
</code>
Actually, now I look it's not that much neater; it basically
pushes the polling into WMI itself. Still, it is at least an
alternative :)
