  1. You’re using "-quoted strings, so C:Python27python.exe D:wampwwwpython_script.py is actually parsed as C:Python27python.exe D:wampwwwptyhon_script.py – the P, p, w etc are NOT string metacharacters, so the escape is simply lost in PHP, and never reaches the shell you’re executing.

    You need

    exec("C:\Python27\python.exe D:\wamp\www\python_script.py ",$out);

    instead. Note the doubled \.

    And note that this has nothing to do with WordPress. This is a PHP “problem”.
