#37193 — Windows subprocess.call problem

[Multipart message — attachments visible in raw view] — view raw

Hi;
I have this code:

#!/Python27/python
import os, subprocess, sys
lyrics_path = "/Users/Tom/Documents/lyrics"
os.chdir(lyrics_path)

songs = ['livin-la-vida-loca', 'whos-that-lady']
for song in songs:
  subprocess.call(['notepad.exe', '%s.txt' % song])
my_songs_path = "aa english lyrics"
os.chdir(my_songs_path)
for song in my_songs:
  subprocess.call(['notepad.exe', '%s.txt' % song])
  print song

It opens the first song and hangs on subsequent songs. It doesn't open the
next song or execute the print until I have closed the first one. I want it
to open all in the list, one after another, so I have all those songs
available. Please advise.
TIA,
Tom
