Answer 1

Suppose we want to run your Django web server (in Linux) that there is space between your path (path='/home// '), so do the following:

import subprocess

args = ['{}/manage.py'.format('/home// '), 'runserver']
res = subprocess.Popen(args, stdout=subprocess.PIPE)
output, error_ = res.communicate()

if not error_:
    print(output)
else:
    print(error_)

[Note]:

• Do not forget accessing permission: chmod 755 -R <'yor path'>
• manage.py is exceutable: chmod +x manage.py
