Hi,
In a bit of a time crunch. Can anyone tell me how to do this properly?
I would like to have a threaded timer to run "cmd" after 5 seconds.

However cmd is normally triggered like this:
os.system(cmd)
But there seems to be an issue with calling os.system(cmd) from

subprocess.popen.
==========================
def do_popen(self, *args):

	subprocess.Popen(args[0], shell=True)
def other function
		cmd = 'spd-say -t female2 "' + audioText + '"'

		args = shlex.split(cmd)
	# Add 5 second delay for first view to allow existing speech processes to

finish

		print "do_speech: ",delay

		if delay:

			print "do_speech: delayed start"

			t = threading.Timer(5.0, self.do_popen(cmd))

			t.start()

		else :

			print "do_speech: immediate start"

			self.do_popen(cmd)
======================
FYI, it is for an accessibility wizard that Daniel and I have been working

on.
Cheers.
