I am currently working on a personal tiny Django site to manage my music and movie resources as an exercise.

The concrete environment:

  • Python 2.7
  • mod_wsgi 3.3
  • Apache 2.2.22
  • Windows XP

The problem I met is when I use subprocess.Popen to fork new process to open my movie in a certain player, the process will be forked in background, meaning that I can only see it in the Task Manager, but there is no visible Player Interface. So it is really strange because I can even hear the voice in the movie, but cannot see the picture.(I tried to open browsers and many other executables in this way, all running in background)

If I use the development server shipped with Django, this issue is gone. So I guess the issue is highly related to Apache or mod_wsgi ?

Any suggestions and advices ?

Check CREATE_NEW_CONSOLE and STARTUPINFO.wShowWindow parameters. You may want to use then when you start new process through subprocess.Popen.
