Python script to Invoke *.ps1 in windows operating system

Question

I am running a Python script in my laptop(windows 64 bit) but I want to invoke a windows powershell script to perform some task. This *.ps1 file should be invoked whenever I run this Python script on my windows laptop. Any ideas how do i do that? or what is the command to Invoke *.ps1 from a python script?

Answer 1

You can open a subprocess

import subprocess
subprocess.Popen('powershell.exe [your command]')

or use the os module

import os
os.system('powershell.exe [your command]')

The powershell process has several command line arguments, documented here
