Start a process in a different console window

xterm -e should do the trick for you.

-e program [ arguments ... ]

This option specifies the program (and its command line arguments) to be run in the xterm window. It also sets the window title and icon name to be the basename of the program being executed if neither -T nor -n are given on the command line. This must be the last option on the command line.

E.g.

import os

os.system("xterm -e 'your command'")
