Open the command prompt first and run it from there.
(Or add a raw_input() line at the end.
We need to know what the error message looks like.
But it sounds like the problem is in the system call
not your GUI stuff.

That might help but the system() call should work too, so
I'd stick with it till we figure out whats happening.
