Need help calling python program through mono

[KPS1 ()]

Need help I am trying to execute a python program, but have been very unsuccessful.
My program needs to open a new terminal window, when the user click a command button, and display/run the python program. When the python program has finished it will close out.  Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Currently this is what I have tried.

   Dim processStartInfo = New ProcessStartInfo("DISPLAY=:32 /root/rxvt -geometry 80x25+150+150+sb -fn 9x15 -e /path/ProgramName", param)

                processStartInfo.UseShellExecute = False
                processStartInfo.ErrorDialog = False
                processStartInfo.WindowStyle = ProcessWindowStyle.Normal
                processStartInfo.RedirectStandardError = True
                processStartInfo.RedirectStandardInput = True
                processStartInfo.RedirectStandardOutput = True
                processStartInfo.CreateNoWindow = False

                Dim process As New Process()
                process.StartInfo = processStartInfo
                Dim processStarted As Boolean = process.Start()

In exactly which way unsuccessful? Error messages? Nothing happens?

This you can do (and I can't see anything obviously wrong with the code
below)

It's the terminal that would have to do this (unless you can find a way to
remotely control the terminal window somehow, but I suspect it's a lot
easier to make the newly created terminal window execute a script that does
this).

Once again, knowing what actually happens would make it easier to find the
problem.
