Python, subprocess, filepath white spaces and famous 'C:/Program' is not recognized as an internal or external command
popen, python, subprocess
Solution
Backslashes in strings trigger escape characters. Since Windows fully supports the use of the forward slash as a path separator, just do that:
cmd = "C:/Program Files (x86)/iTunes/iTunes.exe"
No need to fiddle around with `\\` or raw strings. ;)
Problem
Enclosing a full file path inside the "" quotes does not make it work. cmd = "C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes\iTunes.exe" subprocess.popen throws an error of not being able to find an executable if there is a white space in a file-path to be executed. A while ago I was able to find a solution which involved a use of some weird symbols or their combination... Unfortunately I can't locate a code with that example. I would appreciate if someone would point me in a right direction. Thanks in advance.
