title: Running a bash script from Python
body: <p>I need to run a bash script from Python. I got it to work as follows:</p>
  
  <pre><code>import os
  os.system("xterm -hold -e scipt.sh")
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>That isn't exactly what I am doing but pretty much the idea. That works fine, a new terminal window opens and I hold it for debugging purposes, but my problem is I need the python script to keep running even if that isn't finished. Any way I can do this?</p>
