As far as I can tell, since your error formatting was lost, is that Popen
can't find the the file.

The other problem is that what you're thinking of really makes no sense.
Pygame doesn't need (and shouldn't) run a program "inside" the window. You
should have all of your game processes available to the main program and
when you want to start the game it should just be a part of it - not a
subprocess.
