Executing a python script while it is running

[Zach Hobesh]

Hi everybody,

Here's my situation:

I have a batch file that calls a python script.

This batch file is triggered by an outside application when the
application completes a task.  The problem is that while the batch
file (and pythons script) is running, the application will complete
the next task, and try to call the batch file again (while it is
already running)

Hopefully that's not too confusing.

I'm not sure what direction to go with this, any help or nudges in the
RIGHT direction would be greatly appreciated.
