I can run the following command in Windows command line successfully (assuming I have cd'ed to the proper directory:

> Reader.exe sig5C "C:\path\to\file.ext"

I am trying to run this command from a Python script. What I have so far is below. It launches the program but it quits before it processes the files. What am I doing wrong?

(Toggle Plain Text)

fp = r'C:\path\to\file.ext'
READER = r'C:\path\to\Reader.exe'

os.spawnl(os.P_WAIT, READER, READER, 'sig5C', '"%s"'%fp)
