[Tutor] os.popen, xp

[Coen van der Kamp]

Hello,
I've got a problem with the following code:

import os, sys, string
mycolors = os.popen("coloryze --monochromatic --total=6 &").read().rstrip()
print mycolors

This works fine on OS X, but when i tried it on XP the only result was 
an empty string. When I run coloryze from the promt the return is a nice 
list of colors. So coloryze works. What am I missing here?

Coen.
