  5. …it still doesn't work out, you can always use subprocess(which this library is using anyway) or https://github.com/kennethreitz/envoy I didn't know about envoy either. Thanks again! :) EDIT: Upon closer examination, the whole OProc class…

  13. It's funny you mention that. The author/speaker wrote a "Subprocesses for humans" module, too: https://github.com/kennethreitz/envoy There's no fundamental problem that's stopped Python from doing this before. For some reason, all of the…
