Re: os.spawnl error

The backslashes in your path are being interpreted as escape characters (e.g. \n is a newline). Try instead: os.spawnl(os.P_NOWAIT,r'c:\windows\notepad.exe') or os.spawnl(os.P_NOWAIT,'c:\\windows\\notepad.exe') -Larry Bates Salvatore wrote: > Hello, > > Does someone already had ths problem

Re: os.spawnl error

I have found the judicious use of os.path.normpath(path) to be quite useful as well. Bob -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
