2 ways:

1) use the system() call from python

2) use the python enbgine for Windows Script Host which creates an
object model for doing these things(including a Run() method

The latter allows you to use any of:
VBscript, Jscript, Perl or Python...

PS, Anyone know where do we get the python engine? - MS say it exists 
but I can't find it...
