Python: Launching a process in a seperate terminal

Vinen · 04-18-2008, 07:03 AM

Anyone know offhand how to launch a process in a separate terminal? I want to be able to view it's output as it runs but the script is not dependant on it's current status so I'd like the script to continue running past it.

I use the os.system(command here) to run a few others. I seem to remember reading of another command which did what I was looking for but I forgot to jot it down and I can't seem to find it again.
