The backslashes in your path are being interpreted
as escape characters (e.g. \n is a newline).
Try instead:
os.spawnl(os.P_NOWAIT,r'c:\windows\notepad.exe')
or
os.spawnl(os.P_NOWAIT,'c:\\windows\\notepad.exe')

that string doesn't contain what you think:
print "c:\windows\notepad.exe"
c:\windows
otepad.exe
you can use "raw" string literals to get around this:
os.spawnl(os.P_NOWAIT, r'c:\windows\notepad.exe')

I have found the judicious use of os.path.normpath(path) to be quite
useful as well.
