Some of those spawn methods from the os module don't work on Windows
although that one doesn't seem to be one of the excluded:
http://docs.python.org/lib/os-process.html.

You should use subprocess regardless as the os.system and os.spawn*
calls are to be deprecated.

http://docs.python.org/lib/module-subprocess.html

Replacing os.Popen* and os.spawn* calls with subprocess:

http://docs.python.org/lib/node537.html
