start python script as background process from within a python script
<p>My python script needs to start a background process and then continue processing to completion without waiting for a return.</p>

<p>The background script will process for some time and will not generate any screen output.</p>

<p>There is no inter-process data required.</p>

<p>I have tried using various methods subprocess, multiprocessing but am clearly missing something.</p>

<p>Does anyone have a simple example?</p>

<p>TIA</p>
