If you're just going for quick-and-dirty, Rob's suggestion of os.system
is probably a reasonable way to go. If you want better error reporting,
I suggest using open() and the subprocess module:
import subprocess
file1 = open('file1', 'w')
prog1 = subprocess.Popen(['prog1'], stdout=file1)
file2 = open('file2', 'w')
prog2 = subprocess.Popen(['prog2'], stdout=file2)
If at some point later you want to make sure that the processes
completed, you simply call .wait() on prog1 or prog2.
