Open Command Prompt with specific directory using Python

Question

How can I open command prompt with specific directory using Python?

I could just run command prompt using Python but I'm unable to open with specific directory.

import os
os.system("start cmd")

cmd can take arguments (run cmd /? to see them) you can do cmd /K cd c:/ to start cmd at c: — Nullman

You can open the specific path using this

import os
os.system("start cmd /K cd C:\\Users\\Name\\Desktop\\File" )

@SujiRyali You can change your working directory to the desired path and then input the call. I have answered your other question.
