I'm not sure I understand the question. Say you have:
parameter = r"my \funky \text"
then surely you just pass it to your external program using whichever method
you like, e.g.
import os
os.execl("your_external_prog", parameter) # replaces the current process
or some variant of:
return_code = os.spawnl(os.P_WAIT, "your_external_prog", parameter)
or you can build a command line:
command = "your_external_prog %s" % parameter
return_code = os.system(command)
(see docs on the os module for more variations on this theme than you can
shack a stick at)
It's just a string, after all.
