Do you want to execute launch_trace.bat, wait until it finishes, and only then
continue executing your script?
startfile doesn't wait, but the subprocess.call line should do exactly that.
Perhaps you need another Sleep call (BTW, you don't require win32api for this -
time.sleep(1.5) is the same as Sleep(1500))
