There are 2 ways to do this. One way would be access the cmd using Python which can be done by using os module. When you try to open the calculator from your command prompt, you probably type calc. Instead of manually doing this, you can have your Python code do it for you, this is how:

import os
os.system('calc') 

The second way is very similar to the first one, except that this method opens another command prompt window so the window in which you're running the python code is not disturbed.

import subprocess

subprocess.Popen("calc",stdout=subprocess.DEVNULL,stderr=subprocess.DEVNULL,shell=True)
