Each command will be run in a distinct subprocess. A CWD is typically local
to a given subprocess. So after the first command/subprocess exits, your
cd's change is no longer there.
Try doing it in one command, with the two original commands separated by a
semicolon.

Hi,
I want to execute the following command line stuff from inside python.
$cd directory
$./executable
I tried the following but I get errors
import subprocess
subprocess.check_call('cd dir_name;./executable')
Due to filename path issues, I cannot try this version.
subprocess.check_call('./dir_n
