python - subprocess.Popen in different console

Question

I hope this is not a duplicate.

I'm trying to use subprocess.Popen() to open a script in a separate console. I've tried setting the shell=True parameter but that didn't do the trick.

I use a 32 bit Python 2.7 on a 64 bit Windows 7.

Answer 1

To open in a different console, do (tested on Win7 / Python 3):

from subprocess import Popen, CREATE_NEW_CONSOLE

Popen('cmd', creationflags=CREATE_NEW_CONSOLE)

input('Enter to exit from Python script...')
