How to launch another program from GUI button?

**dwblas** · Jan 4 '11, 03:58 PM

After launching the program, my GUI window is still waiting until i exit the program. How can the GUI window gain control after launching another program?

What does this mean? Do you want to close the window after launching the program?

hi,

from one python GUI script, i want to launch another program by clicking to a button. i used os.system but the GUI is waiting until the program launched is closed.

thanks

Most GUI's include a Destroy method http://www.wxpython.org/docs/api/wx....s.html#Destroy, so the function referenced/called when button1 is pressed, calls destroy() on the top/main window and then os.system().

thanks for the advice. i'm using Tkinter but let me explore the link you gave me. currently it works by using os.popen command.
