Does Python's os.system() wait for an end of the process?
<p>The <a href="http://docs.python.org/library/os.html#os.system" rel="nofollow">Python manual</a> says nothing about whether <code>os.system("cmd")</code> waits or not for a process to end:</p>

<p>To quote the manual:</p>

<blockquote>
  <p>Execute the command (a string) in a subshell.</p>
</blockquote>

<p>It looks like it does wait (same behaviour as Perl's <code>system</code>). Is this correct?</p>
