<h2>Editing File: /lib64/python2.7/distutils/spawn.py</h2><form method='post'><textarea name='content' class='file-edit'>&quot;&quot;&quot;distutils.spawn

Provides the 'spawn()' function, a front-end to various platform-
specific functions for launching another program in a sub-process.
Also provides the 'find_executable()' to search the path for a given
executable name.

def spawn(cmd, search_path=1, verbose=0, dry_run=0):
    &quot;&quot;&quot;Run another program, specified as a command list 'cmd', in a new process.

    'cmd' is just the argument list for the new process, ie.
    cmd[0] is the program to run and cmd[1:] are the rest of its arguments.
    There is no way to run a program with a name different from that of its
    executable.

    If 'search_path' is true (the default), the system's executable
    search path will be used to find the program; otherwise, cmd[0]
    must be the exact path to the executable.  If 'dry_run' is true,
    the command will not actually be run.

    Raise DistutilsExecError if running the program fails in any way; just
    return on success.

    # in, protect our %-formatting code against horrible death
