You can do this with:
import win32process
STARTUPINFO=win32process.STARTUPINFO()
STARTUPINFO.dwX=0
STARTUPINFO.dwY=0
STARTUPINFO.dwXSize=800
STARTUPINFO.dwYSize=600
execute_target="enter program to run here"
commandLine=None
processAttributes=None
threadAttributes=None
bInheritHandles=0
dwCreationFlags=0
currentDirectory=None
#
# Start the program
#
win32process.CreateProcess(execute_target,
commandLine,
processAttributes,
threadAttributes,
bInheritHandles,
dwCreationFlags,
newEnvironment,
currentDirectory,
STARTUPINFO)
