Python: Spawn New Minimized Shell -

i attempting to launch python script within python script, in minimized console, return control original shell.

i able open required script in new shell below, it's not minimized:

#!/usr/bin/env python  import os import sys import subprocess  pytivopath="c:\pytivo\pytivo.py"  print "testing: open new console" subprocess.popen([sys.executable, pytivopath], creationflags = subprocess.create_new_console)  print raw_input("press enter continue...") 

further, need able later remotely kill shell original script, suspect i'll need explicit in naming new process. correct?

looking pointers, please. thanks!

note: python27 mandatory application. need work on mac , linux.

do need have other console open? if commands sent, i'd recommend using popen.communicate(input="shell commands") , automate process you.

so write along lines of:

# commands pass subprocess (each command separated newline)  commands = (     "command1\n" +     "command2\n" )   # process py_process = subprocess.popen(*yourprocess_here*, stdin=pipe, shell=true)  # feed process needed input py_process.communicate(input=commands)  # terminate when finished py_process.terminate() 

the code above execute process specify , send commands won't open new console.
