I need to execute this script from my Python script.

Is it possible? The script generate some outputs with some files being written. How do I access these files? I have tried with subprocess call function but without success.

fx@fx-ubuntu:~/Documents/projects/foo$ bin/bar -c somefile.xml -d text.txt -r aString -f anotherString >output

The application "bar" also references to some libraries, it also creates some files besides the output. How do I get access to these files? Just by using open()?

Thank you,
