Re: problems running subprocess inside django view

As the same user? Are you running with manage.py runserver? Generally it is a bad idea to call subprocess from a web process context. A blocking call you don't expect might time out the client and/or hang your server.

Check out Django-celery. Create a tasks.py and have your view call a task.
