Error while Importing pyspark ETL module and running as child process using pything subprocess

I'm trying to call a list of pyspark modules dynamically from one main.py python script, using Import module and subprocess. The child modules I'm trying to call does not return anything, it just does its ETL operation. I want my main.py program to wait until the child process completes. In the code below, everytime I'm trying to call the child process, I end up with the error "TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not iterable". One other problem is, after initiating the subprocess.Popen, I thought the flow will keep continuing in the main.py to next line, until it hits the j1.wait(), but the immediate print statment (print("etl_01_job is running") is not executing, Am I missing anything?

I googled and tried a lot of other ways, but nothing is working. can anyone shed some light on what am I doing wrong? Once I'm able to successfully call the child process, I have to add few other conditions based on the return code of the child proces. But at this point, I want to fix this issue. Thanks

main.py

import json
import importlib
import subprocess
from datetime import datetime
from pyspark import SparkContext, SparkConf
from pyspark.sql.session import SparkSession


def main():
    with open('C:/Pyspark/test/config/config.json', 'r') as config_file:
        config = json.load(config_file)

    spark = SparkSession.builder\
        .appName(config.get("app_name"))\
        .getOrCreate()

    job_module1 = importlib.import_module("etl_01_job")
    print("main calling time :", datetime.now())
    j1 = subprocess.Popen(job_module1.run_etl_01_job(spark, config))
    print("etl_01_job is running")
    j1.wait() #I'm expecting the main.py to wait until child process finishes
    print("etl_01_job finished")

    job_module2 = importlib.import_module("etl_02_job")
    j2 = subprocess.Popen(job_module2.run_etl_02_job(spark, config))

if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()

Child pyspark job:etl_01_job.py : Not the original code, just a sample script

from datetime import datetime
import time
import sys

def etl_01_job(spark, config):
    print("I'm in 01etljob")
    print(config)
    print(config.get("app_name"))
    time.sleep(10)
    print("etljob 1 ending time :", datetime.now())
def run_etl_01_job(spark, config):
    etl_01_job(spark, config)

The error I'm getting is
