For future reference for anyone else with this question, I have attached some simple code for being able to open programs:

Qt Code:
  1. def process(self):
  2. p = QtCore.QProcess(self)
  3. p.setWorkingDirectory('/usr/bin/vlc') #this is where your program is located
  4. p.start('vlc') #p.start('insert program name here')
