Nope, you need the suprocess module not SWIG.

What SWIG does (fairly easily!) is allow you to build a wrapper 
around your C program that python can import and call the C 
functions like normal Python code. I don;t think you want that, 
you just want to run the program. 

What you haven't made clear yet is whether you need to get 
your program to interact with the C program or whether you 
just want to run the executable with no interaction. (This is 
much easier obviously!)

See my OS topic for various solutions to this.
