How do I make a Script that (when open) runs cmd and outputs something I wrote?

Question

I'm very new to python.

I wanted to make a Python File (script) that would run cmd and then run a Command for example: net user. I tried this

import os
os.system ('start cmd')

but I still need help.

Just to be clear, you want to open a command prompt and make *that* command prompt run a command or do you want to just run a program? — Federico klez Culloca, Apr 19 '19 at 12:33

You can use subprocess:

import subprocess
import sys

command = "net user"
subprocess.call(command,shell=True,stdout=sys.stdout)

Example output:

User accounts for \\COMPUTER

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
user1                    user2                    user3                 
The command completed successfully.
