Not sure you you are having issues.

subprocess.Popen("C:\\Program Files\\Vim\\vim73\\gvim.exe")
Above line should work.


In order to avoid the double backslashes (such, that you can just copy
paste from the windows explorer or from a
command line shell you could additionally prefix the string with r.

subprocess.Popen(r"C:\Program Files\Vim\vim73\gvim.exe")

copying and pasting reduces the risk of typos
