Scripts quits after launching Popen command

  while True:  
      command = 'cmd /c start chrome http://google.com'
      subprocess.Popen(command)
      time.sleep(120)

When i try to launch the browser chrome using this code in python, the browser launches but after that my script quits. Is there a way to launch the browser and move on to process next block of codes.

I tried changin/c to /K and using subprocess.Popen(command, stdout=subprocess.PIPE).wait() but in this case it will neither quit nor process the next block of codes

The problem is due to wait(). if wait() is removed ,the script will continue

Wait () will wait for the launched program to terminate. Without the wait your script will continue after launching
