[Tutor] Running an exe from Python

[Nagendra Singh]

Thanks a lot for all the suggestions. I used the function subprocess.call (
'c:\abc.exe  c:\data\file1'), but as before the command window opens and
closes very fast a value of 1 is displayed. How do I see the results??  I am
sorry if I sound dumb.
