You might try one of these:

1. os.execute("start foo --abc")  -- Windows
2. os.execute("foo --abc &")  -- Linux etc.
3. geany.launch( "foo" ,  "--abc")   -- cross-platform (see docs)

Notifying the user about process completion/success/failure would be
the responsibility of the the external program itself.
