Spawning a new process that is not attached to python - cman234 - Apr-25-2020
I am trying to write a code that executes a certain number of files in a directory. However, I do not want these files to be attached to python (aka python is the parent application) and I want them to have a completely different process group. Here is the code I am currently stuck on.
for x in os.listdir(): subprocess.Popen(x, creationflags=subprocess.CREATE_NEW_PROCESS_GROUP)

It is in the actual program... not sure why it is not here.

When I launch the external program, I do not want it to launch as a child process if that makes sense.
