Sounds like you need fork or threads or so.. Unfortunetaly I have only
seen fork on unix.

| No I'm afraid not- os.system cannot spawn remote processes- i.e. it waits
| until the command has finished. If I want to 'boot-up' my server process
| with python being the client then I would have to wait an infinite amount of
| time for the server to finish doing stuff!
