How to code such that the program does not wait for execution of a command?

Rachit Semalty

Hi. I am trying a code:

      exec python_path python_file.py;

      puts 1;

So the problem is that 1 is not printed till the execution of the python file is completed. I want the code to proceed even if the python file is still running.

Does anyone know how to solve the problem?

Regards,

Rachit

I think what you are looking for is just to add an & to the end. Like this:

exec python_path python_file.py &;

Hi, Rachit Semalty

The following commands may help you

package require Thread
set thread_id [thread::create {exec python_path python_file.py}]

puts 1

Thanks, Nagahashi for your reply. It was helpful. I was hoping to do it without creating a thread but it is also a good solution.
