How can I run Powershell and run .exe file by Python code? [duplicate]

Question

Currently, I am running an exe file (test.exe) by Powershell. It requires an input file's name as an argument. It means, I have to type ./test.exe input.txt in Powershell command in order to run the file in powershell.

And now I want to automate this stuff by Python, but I couldn't found a clear way to do this. As far as I figured out is that import subprocess and blah-blah is necessary but I am not that good into coding so can anybody tell me to make it?

'test.exe' file is located in C:\Users\KIM\Desktop\TEST and Powershell is located in C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe

You can use this:

import subprocess
subprocess.call(['C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowershell\v1.0\Powershell.exe', 'C:\Users\KIM\Desktop\Test\Test.exe', 'input.txt'])
