EventGhost

First off, I know nothing about python so please accept my apologies if I'm missing something stupid.

Why does this script cause EventGhost to crash?

import os
os.system("taskkill /im squeezeplay.exe /f")
os.popen('"C:\Program Files\Squeezebox\SqueezePlay\squeezeplay.exe"')

The script does works except for eventghost locks up as soon as it is done running.

any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

Do not use OS. Instead use

import subprocess
subprocess.popen("command line")
