os.wait

[Charles R. Twardy]

Abhik,

Windows lacks os.wait(). I'd prefer to avoid Windows, but can't.
Recommended workaround for multiprocess.py? A forum suggested either:
subprocess.call(programToRun)
or
subprocess.Popen(programToRun).wait()

Hi Charles,
The recommended way to do this now is to use the python
multiprocessing module.. It's well-tested and part of the stdlib in
python 2.6 and onward.

I was planning on rewriting pebl/taskcontroller/multiprocess.py to use
that module but not sure when I can get to it (working on
dissertation!). Also, I have no way to test code on windows.

Thanks,
Abhik.
