Answer 1

Consider using an absolute path for your command-execution.
Some binaries are not located in PATH depending on your user, system and software installation.

To find out where sqlplus resides, run the following in cmd.exe: where sqlplus and that should give you the absolute path.

Then simply do:

Popen(['C:/path/sqlplus.exe', '-S', ...])

Also to find out what's actually in your PATH environment variable, you could do the following:

print(os.environ['PATH'])
