'subprocess.Popen is creating two processes instead of one
I am creating a subprocess using this line of code:
p = subprocess.Popen(["doesItemExist.exe", id], shell=False)
and when I run the script while I have the Task Manager open, I can see that it creates two processes and not one. The issue is that when I go to kill it, it kills one (using p.kill()), but not the other. I've tried looking online but the only examples I find are about shell=True and their solutions don't work for me. I've confirmed that that line only gets called once.
What can I do? Popen is only giving me back the one pid so I don't understand how to get the other so I can kill both.
