Answer by CHebs2018 for How to redirect a command's output to file, when the command is via a wrapper's system call?

import subprocess, sys, shlex

try:
    process = (subprocess.Popen(shlex.split(command), 
            stdout=subprocess.PIPE, 
            stderr=subprocess.PIPE, 
            shell=True, cwd="Pass desired directory in as string variable")

  stdout, stderr = process.communicate()

use the shlex to build your command, and subprocess to execute it in the command prompt.

subprocess.Popen Allows you to set the current working directory and set a pipe up for IPC.
