My understanding of using an external application to do this is to first 
create my module as an executable using py2exe. Then I have another 
python script that runs this module like this

while (1):
    os.popen("program_module.exe")

and make this other python script into another executable and execute 
this one. If Im not mistaken, when the python program crashes, the 
thread is killed. is this correct or how should I do it?
Thanks again.
