Execute cmd-like command in Python

See subprocess.Popen, like this:

subprocess.Popen(["/bin/ls", "-l"]

Or, depending on what you want to get as result (stdout, return code), use subprocess.call, subprocess.call_check, or other snippets in this module.

Another way would be os.system().

import os
os.system("c:\\ESG\\Statsvis.exe \192円.16...0629.dsf /output=C:\\...\\outfile.txt ...")

If you want to have exact shell/cmd behavior, then set the shell argument to True in a suprocess.Popen() call. However, from the documentation:

Warning

Invoking the system shell with shell=True can be a security hazard if combined with untrusted input. See the warning under Frequently Used Arguments for details.

If you need the output of the command use subprocess:

import subprocess
out = subprocess.check_output("dir c:\ /AD", shell = True)
