🔒 Keeping a Subprocess open in the background, then killing it after my task is complete

[nimble iris]

So, I have a render program I built in Python. The main issue I have with this render program is thatBlender in the command line (called through subprocess) restarts after every. single. frame.

This absolutely tanks render times, so I was thinking if there was a way to force it to stay open while it renders everything, while keeping the progress bars updated. I did Google this, and it suggested I used my computer as a connectable server with Blender's in-program script editor, but I don't know if I can do that because of my computer's specs and limitations with my setup.

What other solutions are there? Here's my code: https://paste.pythondiscord.com/Y4OA

I'm not too sure, ive never really tried doing rendering with the inbuilt python api and editor,
but wouldn't running the program inside of blender using bpy fix that issue?

or do you want to program to be cli only

I'm trying to render like multiple shots one after the other, and bpy is being very awkward with that, so I'd perfer it to be in cmd

im not sure how you'd be able to do that
