You can't call procs in exe's like you can in dlls. If the program supports COM or ActiveX automation or DDE you could possibly control it with that. Or you could use the PyWin32 api to control the mouse to click on the button, but you'd have to know where it is. Another way is to use a program like MS Spy to see what the details of the button's "window" are, then in your program you could just find that window and send it WM_LBUTTON_DOWN (and up) messages.
Finally, what I think would be the easiest way, if it's just downloading a file, find out what the file is and download it yourself, using python code, like ftplib or httplib. I hope this'll help you get started on the right track.
