how to run script on executable file?

maybe my question is stupid but I would be very happy if someone could help, I have some executable file that I got from my teacher, this executable file ask for the answer of some math problem and if you run it on CMD it's look like:

screenshot of console window

C:\Users\guyzw>solveme.exe
Hello fellow, can you solve this math problem?

2 x 7?

>

I'm run this exe file on my linux machine using wine, I want to write some of script in bash or python to insert the answer automatically, my question is how can I do so? this exe file doesn't get args so I don't now where to begin...

Any help would be appreciated.

You can use the subprocess module to run external programs from within a Python script.

For example,

>>> output = subprocess.Popen("solveme.exe", stdout=subprocess.PIPE)
>>> output.communicate()[0]
'hello fellow, can you solve this math problem?\n\n2 x 7?\n'
>>>
