What you can do is that you have to change your working directory first before executing the code.

import os

os.chdir('C:\\Users\\Name\\Desktop\\testing')
os.system("start cmd /K py <filename> –V <variant string> -p <path to the flash files>")

Thank You :-) But flashing didn't start. May be it's due to, not opening CMD as Administrator. How to modify script to run CMD as administrator and execute files

@SujiRyali you can probably take a look at this. I am not really familiar with ctypes and the whole windows thing, so I'm afraid i cant help much.
