python processes and Visual Studio

[bill]

All,

This may sound somewhat convoluted, but here goes:

1. I have a Python script that invokes builds in Visual Studio via the
command line interface - 'devenv'
2. It works GREAT
3. I have added a post_build event to a VS Solution that has but one
project.
4. This event invokes a Python command - 'c:\python25\python.exe c:
\....myPython.py'
5. It works GREAT
6. I move on the another VS Solution that has 6 projects.
7. I add the post_build event command to all 6 projects
8. It 'almost' works... all 6 projects build and the post_build event
triggers in all 6 projects and that works
9. Unhappily, the whole thing then 'hangs'

I am guessing that perhaps a sub-process or something like that is not
exiting. The Python script that is triggered in the post_build event,
myPython.py, does nothing special upon exit. Should it?

Or, is there some way to determine why the the while thing 'hangs'?

TIA,

Bill

All,

Please ignore this post (if you already haven't). Whatever the problem
is, it has absolutely nothing to do with Python.

Sorry about that
