Hi Diez,

Thanks for the information.
That's valuable information.

I though of displayin an information message on the screen through
tkMessageBox while the subprocess is running, I did it using:

try:
            testing = subprocess.Popen([batchFilePath], \
                                   shell = True)

            retCode = testing.wait()
            tkMessageBox._show("Test Harness execution", \
                               icon = 'info', \
                               message="Testing %s in progress..." % libName)
        except:
            tkMessageBox._show("Error", \
                               type='ok', icon='error', \
                               message="Error executing %s Test
Harness" % libName)
            return None
        else:
                print retCode


But the message is never displayed. Please suggest if there is
something wrong with this code
