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

Answer 1

On Linux shell=True will do the trick:

command = 'python someFile.py' subprocess.Popen('xterm -hold -e "%s"' % command)

Doesn't work with gnome-terminal as described here:
