yes i think i have read like thousand times the Python help files about 
spawn* and that last paragraph never went into my head.

os.system(' "C:\\Program Files\\pd\\bin\\pd.exe" -nogui mypatch.pd ')
it does work, but as far as i understand pd and python cannot run on 
parallel with this system, pd has to quit for python to get control 
again and keep running. At least this happened in my tests but i dont 
know much about system commands and stuff like that, so there might be a 
way.

cheers
