This is actually a C question, not a Python question.

If all you need is the return value of the program, consider looking up
the system() call.  For more control, variations on popen and fork/exec
may be fruitful on Unix (presumably OS X too), or CreateProcess* on
MS-Windows.

For more detailed help, try comp.unix.programmer or
comp.os.ms-windows.programmer (or a similar newsgroup for whatever OS
you're using).
