Using Popen I have created a child process and stdout of it I have redirected to PIPE (because I don't want that to be printed on with my main process).  Now using this statement,"Line=Proc.stdout.readline()" I want to read stdout of child process and I have to do operation on that. but somehow i am not able to read from stdout of child process.

Your description is not sufficiently clear:

  If "filename.py" is your child process, why should it read the stdout
  of the child process (i.e. itself).

I suggest, you describe what "filename.py" (your child) does
and what behavior you observe for the parent.
