Is there anyway to execute another program from the python console and then have the python prompt return to do other things?
I've tried all the methods I could find in the docs and on the net. subprocess.Popen, os.system, spawn, you name it but none of the methods I've tried allow me to do this. Perhaps I'm doing it all wrong?
A simple example would be to start mplayer /path/movie.mkv. When I do os.system("mplayer /path/movie.mkv") I get all of mplayers output to my terminal and I don't want that
