Hi,
while of course you can go down the environment variable road, you could also simply use the os.system() road with a properly formatted path.
a) I'd recommend not to use backslash (\) as directory separator. In Python you can use the normal slash as well under Windows. This has the advantage, that the slash does not need to be escaped. So instead of 'C:\\dir\\walter.exe' you can simply use 'C:/dir/walter.exe'.
b) In order to use spaces in filepaths, Windows expects the path to be enclosed in quotation marks. Then your path looks like so (note that the quotation marks have to be escaped using the backslash) : '"C:/dir with space/walter.exe"'
So in your case: os.system('"C:/Program Files (x86)/..."')

Yes, and putting everything between quotes solved the issue.
So instead of cd c:\program files
cd "c:\program files"Thanks, pim

As Ilya said, you should definitely do it using the subprocess module.

This is the command I want to give on the Mac:
/Applications/cloud_ui/ccl --help
I tested subprocess.Popen on the pc and it works ok.
Just like os.system.What is the difference between os.system and subprocess.Popen?

Any input on my subprocess.Popen issue?
On the Mac I get an error OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory.
It complains about .../python.2.6/subprocess.py" line 1126 in_execute _child.On a pc, I got the same error message.

I got it now working.
Here an example on the pc, generating a tasklist and checking if a process is running.ps= subprocess.Popen(r'tasklist.exe', shell=True, stdout=subprocess.PIPE) output = ps.stdout.read() ps.stdout.close() ps.wait() if ("cloud_ui" in output) : print "found" else: print "not found"
