I am looking for some guidance on using subprocess to execute an EXE with
arguments and an output. The below code works in that it returns a 0 exit
code, but no output file is created. I have tried a few different versions of
this code (used Popen instead, some stderr/stdout), but no luck.
To add on, I need to eventually write a script that takes input, feeds it into
this exe, and takes the output file to perform more 'tools'/manipulations on
it. Is call or Popen called for, why? Or maybe some other module???
