Why not?

Maybe you need to give full path names.

os.system doesn't emulate a shell environment so that might be the reason why. Try this

from subprocess import PIPE, Popen

build = Popen(("devenv.exe", "filename.sln", "/Build"), shell = True)

Alternatively put in the whole path of devenv.exe and see where that leads you.
