Command line execution in different folder

by

The subprocess module is a very good solution.

import subprocess
p = subprocess.Popen([command, argument1,...], cwd=working_directory)
p.wait()

It has also arguments for modifying environment variables, redirecting input/output to the calling program, etc.
