To call an executable in Python, you need to look at Python’s subprocess module: http://docs.python.org/2/library/subprocess.html

If your exe doesn’t accept arguments, then it won’t work. If you created the exe yourself using something like PyInstaller or py2Exe, then you need to make it so your app can accept arguments. The simplest way is using sys.argv, but there are also the optparse and argparse libraries in Python as well.
