Python - forking an external process?

[Victor Hooi]

Hi,

Hmm, this script is actually written using the Cliff framework (https://github.com/dreamhost/cliff).

I was hoping to keep the whole approach fairly simple, without needing to pull in too much external stuff, or set anything up.

There's no way to do it with just Python core is there?

Also, what's this improvement you mentioned?

Cheers,
Victor
