Calling .exe's from module

[mike milliger]

Shouldn't the following module call test.exe? Could someone point me to
the section in the programming python book which covers this
functionality?   No objects persist from my executable, so I don't have
to worry about ref counts and obj's returning to my module. i'm
basically going to pkzip a list of filenames passed to my module as
argv's.

#start
import string,sys,os

# --------------------------------------------------------------------
# run test

if __name__ == "__main__":

    os.system ("D:\Archiver\test.exe")
