the term "subprocess" is meant to mean a process which is run by the process your script is executing in. Running an executable starts a new process. So running an executable from your python script means you are using a subprocess. Dave's second link is to small pieces of code that uses the module, and shows what he means: http://docs.python.org/lib/node537.html On 7/5/07, Ian Mallett <geometrian@xxxxxxxxx> wrote:
It looks like this uses subprocesses. I don't think I'm currently using subprocesses. I was wondering if you might be able to give a small piece of code using that module to show what you mean?
