How to wait until Program starts

Question

How can one make the python script wait until some process launched with os.system() call is completed ? For example a code like

import subprocess
subprocess.call('gnome-chess')

With this i have to wait until gnome-chess is not closed

What i want is just wait until gnome-chess is not stated

I assume you want to start `gnome-chess` in the **background**; this question already has an answer [here](https://stackoverflow.com/a/1196122/4309792). — Ionut Ticus, Apr 09 '20 at 13:00

You can use subprocess.Popen for that.

See here for docs.
