I tried the below approach to open a command prompt and run a sample command. But it immediately closes:
import os
# as of now i am just passing cd /../, later will be changing to a different command
os.system("start /wait cmd /c {cd /../}")
I also tried this way, but this opens two command shells:
import os
os.system("start /B start cmd.exe @cmd /k cd /d D:")
Is it possible to just open one command prompt and run the command?
import subprocess
cmd = subprocess.Popen('cmd.exe /K cd /')
#subprocess.Popen('cmd.exe /K netstat') # run cmd commands like netstat,..etc
#subprocess.Popen('cmd.exe /K python') # open cmd in Python live interpreter mode
#subprocess.Popen('cmd.exe /K my_script.py') # run your python script

The CMD window will run the commands you give it and then immediately close on completion, if you want to keep the window open you need to send a pause command:
os.system("YOUR COMMAND")
os.system("pause")
