I tested with a very simple C code. If the Python print is blocked, it should be blocked also from a C call, I presume (ok someone will contest, anyway). Any case, from the C call, it does not block.

So I will try to simplify a bit the question. I want to do the equivalent of this

    #include <stdio.h>
    #include <stdlib.h>
    int main(){
      system("python testpy.py ddddd");
      return 0;
    }
In this case it does not block the testpy.py printouts.

But I am doing this
    with Interfaces.C; use Interfaces.C;
    procedure systest2 is
       function Sys (Arg : Char_Array) return Integer;
       pragma Import(C, Sys, "system");
       Ret_Val : Integer;
    begin
       Ret_Val := Sys(To_C("python testpy.py arg1 arg2"));
    end systest2;
which blocks the testpy.py script until its end. This should not happen. So, please, how could I fix this?
