The Python manual says nothing about whether os.system("cmd") waits or not for a process to end:
To quote the manual:
Execute the command (a string) in a subshell.
It looks like it does wait (same behaviour as Perl’s system). Is this correct?
Yes it does. The return value of the call is the exit code of the subprocess.
