python executing windows exe

[aspineux]

First look if your .exe will accept to work that way !
try in a DOS prompt

> echo yourfilename | nec2d.exe

or if the program expect more input, write them all in a file
( myinputs.txt ) and try :

> nec2d.exe < myinputs.txt

If it works looks for module subprocess and more precisely object
subprocess.popen and method comunicate
