To change directory with Subprocess in Python, we use the os. chdir method. to call os. chir to change the directory to / .
To find the current working directory in Python, use os. getcwd() , and to change the current working directory, use os. chdir(path) .
The subprocess module defines one class, Popen and a few wrapper functions that use that class. The constructor for Popen takes arguments to set up the new process so the parent can communicate with it via pipes. It provides all of the functionality of the other modules and functions it replaces, and more.
subprocess.Popen takes a cwd argument to set the Current Working Directory; you'll also want to escape your backslashes ('d:\\test\\local'), or use r'd:\test\local' so that the backslashes aren't interpreted as escape sequences by Python. The way you have it written, the \t part will be translated to a tab.
So, your new line should look like:
subprocess.Popen(r'c:\mytool\tool.exe', cwd=r'd:\test\local')
To use your Python script path as cwd, import os and define cwd using this:
os.path.dirname(os.path.realpath(__file__))
