I want to use subprocess to open an application. However the amount of argument is not fixed. What’s the best way to approach this?

subprocess.call( "path/to/app", arg[0], arg[1], arg... )

minimum arg[] is 1 but it can get as large and 10 or 20. What’s the best way to send them to aubprocess’s argument in this case?

    You probably want to do

    subprocess.call(["path/to/app"] + arg)
