    <p>Submitting a complex <strong>cmd</strong> string made of a full file path to an executable, the multiple flags, arguments, parameters, inputs and outputs seems to require me to set <strong>shell=True</strong> otherwise subprocess.Popen is not able understand anything more complex than just a simple path to executable (with no spaces in a filepath).</p> <p>In my example I have quite a long cmd:</p> <pre><code>cmd = " '/Application/MyApp.app/Contents/MacOS/my_executable' '/Path/to/input/files' -some -flags -here -could -be -a -lot '/full/path/to/output/files' " </code></pre> <p>Submitting this cmd to <strong>subprocess.Popen</strong> " results to an error that complains on something about the path and not being able to find it.</p> <p>So instead of using :</p> <pre><code>proc = subprocess.Popen(cmd, stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stderr=subprocess.PIPE) </code></pre> <p><strong>check_call</strong> seems workings quite well:</p> <pre><code>proc = subprocess.check_call(cmd, shell=True) </code></pre> <p>Interesting, only after <strong>shell</strong> is set to <strong>True</strong> </p> <pre><code>shell=True </code></pre> <p>the <strong>subprocess.check_call</strong> works with a supplied cmd. </p> <p>The side effect is that the rest of the code seems proceeds running without waiting for <strong>subprocess.check_call(cmd, shell=True)</strong> to finish first.</p> <p>The code is designed the way that the rest of the execution is dependent on a result of <code>subprocess.check_call(cmd, shell=True)</code>. </p> <p>I wonder if there is anyway to enforce the code execution to wait till subprocess.check_call(cmd, shell=True) is finished. Thanks in advance!</p>

    1. COHave you tried converting the `cmd` into a list when running with `shell=False` and `subprocess.Popen`? You could use the `shlex.split()` function to do that, like in the example code provided in the [documentation of the Popen constructor](http://docs.python.org/2/library/subprocess.html#popen-constructor).

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
