Module spawn
distutils.spawn
Provides the 'spawn()' function, a front-end to various platform-
specific functions for launching another program in a sub-process. Also
provides the 'find_executable()' to search the path for a given
executable name.

spawn(cmd,
search_path=1,
verbose=0,
dry_run=0)
|
|
Run another program, specified as a command list 'cmd', in a new
process. 'cmd' is just the argument list for the new process, ie. cmd[0]
is the program to run and cmd[1:] are the rest of its arguments. There is
no way to run a program with a name different from that of its
executable.
If 'search_path' is true (the default), the system's executable search
path will be used to find the program; otherwise, cmd[0] must be the
exact path to the executable. If 'dry_run' is true, the command will not
actually be run.
Raise DistutilsExecError if running the program fails in any way; just
return on success.

find_executable(executable,
path=None)
|
|
Try to find 'executable' in the directories listed in 'path' (a string
listing directories separated by 'os.pathsep'; defaults to
os.environ['PATH']). Returns the complete filename or None if not
found.
