I have the exact same situation, but system doesn't seem to wait. Here is my
pseudo code:
for i in attempts: #attempts holds strings of shellscripts
cmd="%s which runs many different shell scripts and takes about an
hour" % (i)
os.system(cmd)
#debugging
print "Finished with %s" % (i)
raw_input("More debugging, shouldn't see this until shell scripts
are finished!")
But it prints the print statement and waits for raw_input instantly... Any
thoughts?
