Python: Start new terminal on Linux and wait for it to finish/exit

Question

Same situation as my other question: Python: Start new command prompt on Windows and wait for it finish/exit except that I need it to work on Linux.

If you don't feel like reading the other question: I want to open some new terminal windows and have each execute a command, and I want the parent python program to wait until all the terminal windows are closed.

Doing:

os.system("gnome-terminal -e {command}")

Opens a new terminal window but the program doesn't wait. Using p = Popen() and p.wait() doesn't work because the gnome-terminal command completes instantly.

Answer 1

Gnome-terminal reuses the same parent process for all terminal windows.

Use gnome-terminal --disable-factory to force it to start a new process.
