I am a Python beginner (using 2.7) and want to know if there is a way for a program that I have written to run other programs.

Basically, I want to build a program that evaluates other programs.

Check out the subprocess module. One of the examples given there:

>>> subprocess.check_output(["echo", "Hello World!"])
'Hello World!\n'

That should be pretty much all you need
