os.system, os.spawn, the process module, os.popen[1,2,3,4], this is a pretty basic thing, not trying to be mean, but you should look in the python docs, this is definitely in there. Also, the subprocess module is meant to replace all of those but i haven't looked too closely at it yet, so the following might not be perfect.
import subprocess as sp sp.call(['wmplayer.exe', 'some_args_probably_a_movie_name']) you'll probably need to use the full path for media player, and the call() function is a simplified command within the subprocess module, useful if you don't really need to redirect input/output/errors or other aspects of the opened application. Also, you'll probably want something more like: retcode = sp.call(...), so that you can check the return code to see if it was successful. Check out the subprocess module.
