spawning pyhon apps...

[bruce]

hi...

toying with an idea.. trying to figure out a good/best way to spawn multiple
python scripts from a parent python app. i'm trying to figure out how to
determine when all child apps have completed, or to possibly determine if
any of the child processes have died/halted..

parent app
 spawn child1
 spawn child2
 spawn child3
 .
 .
 .
 spawn childn

do i iterate through a os.waitpid(pid) for each pid of the child processes i
create?

is there another approach? code samples/tutorial...??

i've seen various approaches via google, but not just what i'm looking for..

thanks
