Running External "Executable" Files - Wait/No Wait

[isocam]

Can anybody help?

Does anybody know how to run an external executable (.exe) file, using a Python script, with two possible scenarios?

1]  Run the external file and "WAIT" until it is closed before continuing.

2]  Run the external file and "DO NOT WAIT" until it is closed before continuing.

(I am, at present, using subprocess.run)

Many thanks in advance!

Hi @isocam .

I am not sure if this is helpful.

I don't remember the details because I created it a long time ago, but I have used "subprocess.check_output" here.

In the subprocess, we run the mRuby script, output the necessary information to the terminal, and receive it in python.
