Question: How to execute an EXE with Python?

[Fausto Arinos de A. Barbuto]

Hi Peter,

    Now it is working: here is the code.

    import os
    os.chdir('c:/fausto/execs')
    os.system('teste.exe')

    That os.system('c:/fausto/execs/teste.exe') doesn't work.

    Thanks to everybody who helped. Much appreciated!
