Have you tries quoting the exename:
os.system('"exe name" -exearg')
That might help. How do you run it from the command line?
You might be better using subprocess.call (), since that allows you to
run subprocesses without the shell interpreting the command line.

I am trying to run an external program in my code using
os.system('exen ame -exearg') but the exe has an "&" in it so windows
thinks it's two commands any way around this?
