A little help with child processes.

[Rech]

Hi,
I need a little help here managing child processes in Python. I'm not so 
skilled in system programming so I hope you can give me some good 
suggestions.

I have a very CPU and memory intensive task that has to be repeated many 
times (with different input parameters). So I've thought to write a 
Python script that create a child process, wait for it to finish and 
then starts again another child with different parameters.

The children processes will save all the results to the disk (using 
cPickle module), so the parent process has to wait each child only and 
then starts the next one. The problem is that I can't work out a 
solution. Sorry, but system programming is not my job.

Any suggestions about how to realize that? A skeleton of the script will 
just suffice.


Thanks in advance,
   Andrea.
