How to run Python programs in the background?

Question

I have a Python program that interfaces with the browser, and now I meed to make that as my background process, so that every time I click the button, the program should start running in the background.

Can anyone help me with an easy solution for this?

If you're on a Unix-like system (e.g. Mac OSX, Linux), the command is python myscript &, which runs the command in the background. In general, in bash (as well as most other shells) if you append a & to your command it runs the command in the background.
