Non blocking subprocess.call
(5 answers)
Closed 4 years ago.
I'm launching a programme with subprocess and follow that command with a for loop. The loop won't run until the programme I launched is closed. I don't understand why this is. Could someone please explain?
My Code:
import subprocess
import psutil
subprocess.call('/path_to/programme.exe')
for process in psutil.process_iter():
print(process)
I'm running Raspbian OS on a Pi 3 (armv7l).
Thanks for your time.

subprocess.call will wait until the command completes. Use subprocess.Popen instead.

I would like to know how to "cleanly" finish the execution of a python application on Windows shutdown.
My application starts at startup, opens a text file and keeps running while Windows is on, What I want to do is to, somehow, capture the shutdown signal and inmediately stop the processes running and close the text file with the io method myFile.close(), finishing the program by itself, and not forced by Windows. Any idea about how that could be done?
Thank you in advance.

Just wondering if there's a way to close the terminal with a python script in an if else statement. I know how to exit a program with "exit( 0 )" but is there a way to actually close the terminal, like when you hit "X" or Alt + F4?
Thanks! (I'm new to python so I don't know much, sorry.)

I wanna to run my own non-system external commands in python.
Such as "sudo insteon on 23". Subprocess and os.system are designed for system calls.
Does anybody know how to do it?
Thanks
You can use subprocess.Popen for this:
import shlex
import subprocess
proc = subprocess.Popen(shlex.split('sudo insteon on 23'))
proc.communicate()
