The given example for os.system is:
sts = os.system("mycmd" + " myarg")
==>
p = Popen("mycmd" + " myarg", shell=True)
sts = os.waitpid(p.pid, 0)
To which you would need to add cwd=path making it:
p = Popen("mycmd" + " myarg", shell=True, cwd=path)
sts = os.waitpid(p.pid, 0)
The other difference using Popen is that it raises an
OSError exception if the program fails to run so you
should wrap the calls in a try/except if you want to
catch that.
