[Python-Dev] Is it possible to switch into the context of a child-process, spawned by "subprocess" module? (original) (raw)

Hi all. This is more of knowing whether something is possible in the core python architecture; hence the question to this mailing-list :) I have a situation where I am spawning a child process via "subprocess" module. This child process is equivalent to the process that would have been created, if I had run a vanilla python-script in another shell. In this (new) (child) process, new objects are instantiated, and methods get called on those objects as usual. Now, what I need is to somehow switch into this (new) (child) process from the current (parent) process, and be able to call methods-on-the-objects-of-the-child-process. Also, please note that since the child process contains GUI, I intend to have the results of calling the methods-on-the-objects-of-the-child-process being effective on the child-process GUI.

Is it possible? Or am I trying to achieve something impossible as per python-core-architecture?

Hint: xmlrpclib.

And that should be the end of this thread.

Regards

I will be thankful for any pointers regarding this. Regards, Ajay
