If you want to run Python code in a separate process consider multiprocessing instead.

Of course depending on your memory on the local and remote machines your array sizes will be different.
z1 = numpy.random.rand(300000000,2);
for i in range(1000):

I'm trying to use subprocess.Popen() to open a script in a separate console. I've tried setting the shell=True parameter but that didn't do the trick.
I use a 32 bit Python 2.7 on a 64 bit Windows 7.
I'm working on a GUI front end in Python 2.6 and usually it's fairly simple: you use subprocess.call() or subprocess.Popen() to issue the command and wait for it to finish or react to an error. What do you do if you have a program that stops and…

I have some Python code that executes an external app which works fine when the app has a small amount of output, but hangs when there is a lot. My code looks like:
p = subprocess.Popen(cmd, shell=True, stdout=subprocess.PIPE,…
In Python, what is the shortest and the standard way of calling a command through subprocess but not bothering with its output.
I tried subprocess.call however it seems to return the output. I am not bothered with that, I just need to run the…
I was reading up on Python Memory Management and would like to reduce the memory footprint of my application. It was suggested that subprocesses would go a long way in mitigating the problem; but i'm having trouble conceptualizing what needs to be…

I'm using a third party library that starts various sub processes. When there's an exception I'd like to kill all the child processes. How can I get a list of child pids?
I have the following code that is attempting to start each of the "commands" below in Linux. The module attempts to keep each of the 2 commands running if either should crash for whatever reason.

I'm trying to find a way to ignore the stderr stream (something similar to 2> /dev/null):
output = subprocess.check_output("netstat -nptl".split())
What should I add to the above command to achieve this?
