Well, now, that's a whole 'nother can of worms :) The more
so since you're relying on a command prompt.

Can I suggest you read around the Popen.communicate method:

http://docs.python.org/library/subprocess.html?highlight=subprocess%20call#subprocess.Popen.communicate

and some of the examples below and try something out for yourself.
It can be a little bit fiddly, but you'll do better if you get
something up-and-running (or up-and-failing) and then ask for advice
on where you're going wrong.
