Autohotkey: MsgBox "Done" after Run

Question

I have a python script I want ran on a shortcut key, but I want the Msgbox to tell me it's done once it finishes. How do I do that?

I've tried putting the MsgBox, Done in different places like so

F8::Runwait, C:\python36\python.exe  "C:\Users\jason\Google Drive\pycharm\test.py"; 
MsgBox, Done
F9::Run, C:\python36\python.exe  "C:\Users\jason\Google Drive\pycharm\test1.py"; 
MsgBox, Done1

Didn't see any examples of this in the Run or MsgBox section of the docs.

Would like a "Done" after any hotkeys are executed.

Could you just use RunWait instead of Run so the program waits for the script to finish before it continues? Also you need to use the multi-line hotkey syntax if you want multiple lines to execute. Below is an edited version of your script:

F8::
    RunWait, C:\python36\python.exe  "C:\Users\jason\Google Drive\pycharm\test.py"; 
    MsgBox, Done
    Return

F9::
    RunWait, C:\python36\python.exe  "C:\Users\jason\Google Drive\pycharm\test1.py"; 
    MsgBox, Done1
    Return

Please note that if your python script starts another process, your AutoHotkey script will not wait on that second process.
