Here is a snippet I use:
def OnWxWindowsDocs(self, event=None):
# do we know where the python docs are ?
location = self.FindLocation(KEY_WXDOCS)
if location == None: return
# are we on Windows ?
if wxPlatform == '__WXMSW__':
cmd = 'start ' + location + os.sep + 'wx.chm'
else:
cmd = 'sh ' + location + os.sep + ' &'
print 'trying to spawn ' + cmd
os.system(cmd)

>--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
i have an application made with wxPython.. and now.. from within the
application i want
to open a chm.... (help file for windows)
i was thinking of using
os.execlp("hh.exe","hh.exe "+"help.chm")
my problem is that it closes the application.... (accordind to python's
help
it should do that)
however i need to keep the application runnig... so my solution
was using a fork creating a child process and then opening the chm file i
need... but windows hasn't got fork...
so how can i do this???
help me please!
