You need to call python.exe path-to-script.py, I thin= k, not just path-to-script.py. See sys.executable (though that depends on i= f you're a frozen app or not).

I can't be sure though= because there's no code. Show code when asking questions, it helps fra= me the discussion and get a better answer ;)

The problem is that if the Python script is run on Windows with subprocess.= Popen, no command prompt is shown (my GUI application is a .pyw file). The = user's script runs silently but then does not quit because it is waitin= g for input, but there is no way for the input to be given, since there is = no command prompt visible.

I think this may be related to the fact that I am calling subprocess.Popen = with shell=3DTrue. I tried calling it with shell=3DFalse (the default), but= then I got an error that the file is not a valid Win32 application.

I would appreciate any help with this problem.
