Read console output

[123qweasdzc]

Hello .

I need to launch a *.exe file from a python script. I don't want the script to continue until that aplication stops.

1- Is there a method in python that already waits for an aplication to stop?
2- Should that aplication send an output messege like "done", and the python script waits for that console output message? Is this straitforward to do?

Thanks in advance

Look at the subprocess module. It can do what you want I believe.
