my thread calls a program with os.system().
os.system("/usr/bin/wine /path/to/ultima/online.exe") Ultima Online is starting and i can enter commands and navigate through the
game with my keyboard. If I move the mouse over the Ultima Online window
Ultima Online crashes. (the mouse just need to overlap 1 pixel of the egde
of the window. titlebar inlcuded) /usr/bin/wine: line 55: 11675 Segmentation fault
Same with os.popen()
If I run os.system() outside the thread everything is working like expected.
Other programs (wine emulated and nativ) work inside and outside the thread.
Can anyone tell me how I can fix this?
Google told me simillar problems were fixed by upgrading to python 2.4. that
is no option for me.
Thanks,
Daniel
some example code:
from threading import Thread
runuo = StartUO(command)
runuo.start()
class StartUO(Thread):
def __init__(self,command):
Thread.__init__(self)
self.command = command
def run(self):
os.execv(self.command)
