[python-win32] Launching an application from python

[Mike.Tallhamer at USONCOLOGY.COM]

I am a physicist turned programmer for a current project I'm working on and
am rather new to python GUI programming. I would like to know if it is
possible to launch an application like adobe from my application simply by
programming the commands into a button. I have a few protocols that are in
pdf format and I would like to pull up the protocol in adobe as an on the
fly help while calibrating a linear accelerator using my GUI interface. Is
this possible on windows and how would I go about doing it. I know on a Mac
I can make os.system calls but am unfamiliar with how to do this on windows.

Please respond to the following email because I can't seem to get on the
list using my current email account.
