I have a script in python that needs to run other software multiple times, I’m trying to do this using the.system("command"), but this function always returns me -1 and does not work, I have tested even with simple commands.
PS am using python 2.7

You can use another Python routine, called subprocess.call.
It avoids many problems related to quotation marks and conventions between the different shells of operating systems. The command is passed using a list instead of a string, the first element being the command and the next parameters.
Example
import subprocess
subprocess.call(['Notepad.exe', 'C:\\temp\\test.txt'])
