I do not understand why you don't want the so simple fork/exec pattern !
In UNIX programming this is the way to go ...
I cannot think of anything simpler than that :
for i in xrange( 10 ):
pid = os.fork()
if not pid:
os.execv( "/bin/echo", [ "echo", "toto" ] )
try:
while True:
os.wait

Michael,
Thanks for the understanding and help, It works kind of. I was getting
this error with one of my iterations of the code as well. Do you know what
might be causing this? Since your code also produced this I figured Oh-Well
and I just put in a try and this at least keeps the error from
In a program that I'm writing in Tkinter, I wanted to know how to
animate objects. I have three buttons in the beginnig, all in the
center. I wanted to know how to, when the user clicks one of
them, make them small and move to a top corner and then have a text box
appear where they were.
Thanks
Thanks Pierre & Kent. The subprocess.Popen worked beautifully.

Bash is optimised for process control, in that it excels.

Yikes, even more batteries. When did that appear, I've never seen
it before! - Aha! Its 2.4 that's why I havemn't seen it, as ever I
am one release behind the bleeding edge on 2.3...

p.wait will be called for each process in the list so its not quite
the same as a single os.wait but then that might be what's wanted!
I'm not sure but from the docs

So with pygames, if I want to display text on the graphics window, I
can set the font and size and so on, and set what I want my text to
be. But if I wanted python to grab that text from a list, say, how
would I do that? I can do it in the print command, as follows:

But in any case, font/text will only take strings - i cant pass in a
list, or an index to an item in a list (which is, in this case, a
tuple), and since the items in the list will be changed and updated
obviously i cant just type in the items as strings

I tried to do it that way ("score, name, posY" etc) and it told me
"too many values to unpack". But I did get it to work the following
way:
# Display some text
x, y = 230, 270
for score, name in mylist:
slip = 30 - len(name)
slip_amt = slip*
P.S. I should also add that the "print" commands embedded within the
add_score function ARE displaying at the appropriate time (i.e.,
before I have to hit y/n). Of course they're in the text/console
window, but it does tell me that it's executing that add_score
function at the right point in time
