title: How to run python script with Laravel's command fire method?
body: <p>I have a need to execute a Python script from a Laravel Command, but I can't find any methods in <code>Illuminate\Console\Command</code> to complete my task. </p>
  
  <p>I want to run this command via the console:</p>
  
  <pre><code>C:\Python34\python H:\myapp\app\python\questionPopulator.py
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>To do so, I tried the following in my commands <code>fire()</code> method:</p>
  
  <pre><code>public function fire()
  {
      $this-&gt;call('C:\Python34\python H:\myapp\app\python\questionPopulator.py');
  }
  
  
  public function fire()
  {
      $this-&gt;line('C:\Python34\python H:\myapp\app\python\questionPopulator.py');
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>None of them work, as Laravel is expecting me to be calling another Laravel command from them. What is the best way to call a simple python script via a Laravel Command?</p>
