I am running a program where first I run a batch and then I want to do other things which need the script run by batch file to be active.

The problem is that the instructions after the running of the batch are not executed because the execution of the batch script is not terminated.

The code is something like:

subprocess.call([<path_bat_file_to_run>])
# now my batch is running but it waits for following instructions
<other_instructios>
subpprocess.call([<path_bat_file_to_terminate_previous_bat_command>])

How can I fix this problem?

CodePudding user response：

Try using this:

subprocess.Popen([<path_bat_file_to_run>])

Instead of:

subprocess.call([<path_bat_file_to_run>])
