A possible way to do this is the following:
Let's say we want to run a program called program.exe from the path
C/Program/Program.exe. We would first need to import the os module and
type the following:

import os                                        #import the os module
path = 'C:/Program/Program.exe'      #give the pathname of the external
program as a string
os.system(path)                              #execute the program from
python using the os module

There are many other ways, but this should work for short pathnames
without spaces.
