The same way you ran netstat - which is an .exe...

Of course, nowadays you probably should be using
subprocess.Popen instead os os.popen, but thats a minor tik.
Also if you don't need the output returned you could try
subprocess.call() (or on older systems os.system())

You'll find more discussion of this with examples in the
OS topic of my tutorial, near the end.
