Subprocess by default does not store stdout and stderror. Try this:
proc = subprocess.Popen('nohup %s/core/kmotion_hkd2.py' % kmotion_dir,
shell=True, stdout=subprocess.PIPE,stderr=subprocess.PIPE)
Now proc.communicate returns a tuple with (stdout, strderr). You can
also make stdout/stderr go to a file, below untested!
outfile = open('/tmp/myoutfile')
errfile = open('/tmp/myerrfile')
proc = subprocess.Popen('nohup %s/core/kmotion_hkd2.py' % kmotion_dir,
shell=True, stdout=outfile,stderr=errfile)
proc.communicate()
