Hiding Console Output

[Kkaa]

This seems like the right thing to do, but it runs the program in the
background, and I need my program to wait until the x.exe has finished.
 I tried using this code:

p =
subprocess.Popen("x.exe",shell=True,stdout=subprocess.PIPE,stdin=subprocess.PIPE,
stderr=subprocess.PIPE)
sts = os.waitpid(p.pid, 0)

But I get the error: "No child process".  Any ideas?
