I was looking at this question :

Execute terminal command from python in new terminal window?

and was wondering how can I send a command with 2 arguments to a shell that is not cmd.exe I have my own shell , that is familiar with my command , but I want it to run from a python script.

something like :

def func(path_to_exe, command_name, arg1, arg2):
 execute(path_to_exe, "command_name arg1 arg2")

I saw that using sub process can help, but all the examples are using command line

thanks!

thanks, I looked there but as I see - all are running from command line, and I need it to run from my exe – user1386966 Nov 10 '13 at 11:46
I don't understand, how is your shell running? – Kobi K Nov 10 '13 at 11:51
What's wrong with this - `from subprocess import call; call([path_to_exe, "command_name arg1 arg2"]);` (Using the command line) – shad0w_wa1k3r Nov 10 '13 at 12:37
