Use [`os.fork()`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/os.html#os.fork).
Example:
```python
import os
import time
pid = os.fork()
if pid == 0:
os.setsid() # Prevents the child from being killed if the parent dies
time.sleep(10)
os.system('some_cmd')
os._exit(os.EX_OK) # This is important after a fork; otherwise Python cleans up its children
```
