executing non-Python conde

Earl Eiland

I need to repeatedly execute an .exe program, changing the command line
arguments, and log the output.

My search of Python documentation and O'Reilly texts hasn't uncovered
how I do this. Both exec and execfile seem to only run Python code.
Also, neither seem to be able to pass parameters. (Although there is a
reference to global and local dictionaries that I don't understand.)

Surely there is a way to do this!

os.system() or win32process.CreateProcess() depending on how much
control you want and/or if it is a Windows GUI .exe.

So where do I find win32process.
It's not a builtin (at least import win32process fails)
A search of python.org fails.
A search of sourceforge fails.
A google search brings up lots of stuff, but I didn't find the module.
