Hi,

sorry, my question was not detailed enough. It is not Python itself, it is the
library documentation. So e.g. spawnlp is described with the header
"spawnlp(mode,file,...)". In the example later you can see
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
import os
os.spawnlp(os.P_WAIT, 'cp', 'cp', 'index.html', '/dev/null')
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
There is no further explaination why there are suddenly two times 'cp'! The
first says the first parameter is the mode like P_WAIT or P_NOWAITE. That's
clear. But the second should be the program to start and the third...? :-( 

It is not clear why the 2nd and 3rd parameter are the same.

HTH


Searching greetings
