subprocess.Popen and thread module

[Danny Wong (dannwong)]

Hi Chris,
Here is the code,
    try:
        cmd_output = subprocess.Popen(['scm', 'load', '--force', '-r', nickname, '-d', directory, project], stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stderr=subprocess.PIPE)
        status = cmd_output.wait()
        print "In load status is: %s" % status + "\n"
    except:
        print "Error Executing %s" % command + "\n"

What's your Popen() call look like?
