Subprocess doesn't want to wait for wget?

Question

Python

I am writing a python script to download a decent list of files. The script is cunning, so it's not possible to simply feed the list of files to wget.
I launch via:

p = subprocess.Popen(cmd.split(),shell=True)
p.wait()

this respectively occurs in a loop, but does not want to wait until wget downloads the file, accordingly there are many parallel downloads. How to be?

Answer 1

Use
subprocess.call(cmd.split(),shell=True)
