If you want to use shell=False, you need to specify the executable correctly. Since you're on Windows, the executable is named python.exe, not myscript. py If you still get errors, you need to get a lot more explicit. Copy/paste, not paraphrase. -- DaveA -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
