I have the exact same situation, but system doesn't seem to wait. Here is my pseudo code:<br><br>for i in attempts: #attempts holds strings of shellscripts<br> cmd="%s which runs many different shell scripts and takes about an hour" % (i)
<br> os.system(cmd)<br> #debugging<br> print "Finished with %s" % (i)<br> raw_input("More debugging, shouldn't see this until shell scripts are finished!")<br><br><br>But it prints the print statement and waits for raw_input instantly... Any thoughts?
