I am trying to execute a python file from Robot Framework using the Process Library as follows:
Example Test Case
OperatingSystem.Should Exist ${CURDIR}/../../../../../server.py
Start Process python.exe ${CURDIR}/../../../../../server.py alias=PythonServer
The OperatingSystem.Should Exist is passing but the Start Process line is failing. I am getting the error:
FileNotFoundError: [WinError 2] The system cannot find the file specified
I have also tried giving the absolute path following python.exe but that also is giving the same error.
I have also tried giving the absolute path of my python.exe
What is the right syntax to execute a python file from Robot Framework using the Process Library?

As you can see on the Start Process documentation, the *arguments are separated:
