You can use os.system to do this

import os
os.system('cmd /k "python -m pip install --upgrade --force-reinstall pip"')

/k lets the command prompt remain after the command and can be replaced with /c to kill the command prompt afterwards.

You can easily run any command with subprocess, this has the advantage that you get an exception if the command fails.

import subprocess
subprocess.check_call(["python", "-m", "pip", "install", "--upgrade", "pip"])

Or you can use os.system():

import os
os.system("python -m pip install --upgrade pip")
