Ok, I re-phrase my question:

there is a batch file that executes a exe file. The batch just works
if run from command prompt and produces output to standard output and
the file.

Now, I try to call the same batch file from subprocess.Pope() call.
The batch file gets called and that internally also calls the exe
file.

But, the exe just runs forever i.e. hangs and does not produces output
, atleast not to the file.

Please suggest is there is something wrong with the above code.
