How can I call a python file present in another directory through python?

Question

So I made an HWID Spoofer with python! Here's an example:

import urllib.request
urllib.request.urlretrieve(url, 'C:/Program Files/changer.bat')
urllib.request.urlretrieve(url, 'C:/Program Files/mac_changer.py')

My main python program is in desktop. Now, I need to call the bat file and other necessary python files from a different directory. How do I do that??

I have tried os.system - tho it works only for the current directory only so does the exec command!

Please help!

Try running os.chdir(path) before youre running os.system os.chdir changes the working directory.

example:

os.chdir("C:/Program Files/");
os.system("changer.bat");
