[Tutor] Correct way to call an outside program?

[Allen Fowler]

Hello,

I need to call an external command line .exe utility from my Python script.

What is the best way to capture the output (if any) and (optionally) direct it to my normal standard output?

There seem to be many options...

Thank you,
:)
