spawnl and waitpid

[naima.mans at gmail.com]

hello,

I run a python cgi script under Apache...

and while the script is running i want to display a "please wait"
message until the script finish.

I have tried to do this but the "please wait" message appears at the
script end (which is useless at this time! )

here my script:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
def get_ret(status):
        signal = status & 0xff
        if signal == 0:
                retcode = status >> 8
        else:
                retcode = 0
        return signal,retcode

pidActuel =  os.spawnl(os.P_NOWAIT,"c:\\python25\
\python.exe","python","Main.py")

if (  get_ret(os.waitpid(pidActuel,0))[1] == 0  ):
         print """ END"""
else:
        print """ please wait... """
