Open any program from cmd in python

I want to open a program located at a specific path in Python but I am getting this error:

Error

Error in cmd: The system cannot find the file steam.exe

import os
os.system('start steam.exe "D:\Program Files (x86)\Steam"')
Solution

  • use subprocess:

    import subprocess

subprocess.call(['D:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\\steam.exe'])
