Old newbie needs help.

[John Culleton]

This week I wrote my first Python program, a script callable from Scribus, a DTP program. It ran! Now I want to spread my wings a little. How do I call a C language executable subprogram from Python and pass information back and forth? 

I am of the old school, meaning that object oriented programming is only slightly 
less obscure to me than Sanscrit or Navaho. So be gentle.
