on windows, spawn(P_NOWAIT) does what you want. here's
an example from the eff-bot guide:
#
# os-spawn-example-2.py
import os
import string
def run(program, *args, **kw):
# find executable
mode =3D kw.get("mode", os.P_WAIT)
for path in string.split(os.environ["PATH"], os.pathsep):
file =3D os.path.join(path, program) + ".exe"
try:
return os.spawnv(mode, file, (file,) + args)
except os.error:
pass
raise os.error, "cannot find executable"
run("python", "hello.py", mode=3Dos.P_NOWAIT)
</F>
