Using python to runother programs

HI guys,


  I am trying to automate some project work which the accounting dept


of the company uses. They have to go through multiple steps to achieve


the final goal. Is there some way that I can use python to automate


these manual steps. I can give you an example.



1. run the crystal report using some ***.excel file



2. Store the output as *.txt file.



3. use accounting software and use the *.txt file (this step can be


excluded)



I don't know how to use python to run the crystal report and save the


output as an txt file using python scripts. Is this even possible?


Thanks.


Sincerely,


Aditya.
