Python for controlling Application from CLI

Question

I have an application, which allows both by GUI and CLI. Is there any option to make use of this CLI commands using python, so that i can automate the set of process for that application(i.e. replace the set of work with single click)

"Is there any option....?" The answer is probably "yes", but the question is vague. What is the problem exactly? — mzjn

instead of opening an application and doing some brainless work, what is the option (Eg: which python library / how to write a python script) , so that by double clicking on .exe file it should do all those process in the background. — gowtham

Use subprocess

from subprocess import check_output

# check_output returns the output of the command
# note: date is a unix command, try something else if on windows
result = check_output('date', encoding='utf8')

print(result)
