Thanks for the reply,,
            I am trying to use the above application using psexec()in
command line.But it failed returning the error message

 exited with error code 255.

              But when I ran the application normally it worked
fine.Do I need to add anything to my python script(either the main one
or the script which is calling it) to make it work.

Thank you,
Venu Madhav.
