thanks help!

it's more of unix/linux question python, can in couple of different ways:

% python myprogram.py & 

the "&" says run in background.

if forgot, , ran it, can type "^z" (control-z) suspend program, type:

% bg 

to start running again in background. and, fun, "fg" put in foreground. can have many processes running in background - if you're doing more one, can use "%n" explicitly 1 (i.e. "bg" , "bg %1" both work, if had 1 background job), , more fun, if have multiple jobs running in background:

% jobs 

will list them you.
