What Mike said about subprocess.

Also, in regular Python strings, \t means a tab character.  You need
to replace \ with \\ in the programme path ('c:\\test\\OpenProgram.exe
1 1') or use a raw string (r'c:\test\OpenProgram.exe 1 1').  (The r
informs the Python parser that backslashes are to be used veratim, not
as special code.  If you're using Windows, raw strings make for fewer
headaches when dealing with file paths.)
