      it was written for a mac, so maybe...

      	d = IO.popen(PYTHON_PATH + " draw_pattern.py " + base_dir + "/" + proposal)
      

      possibly needs to be

      	d = IO.popen(File.join(PYTHON_PATH , " draw_pattern.py ",base_dir, proposal))

      EDIT added the missing bracket...

        The error message points to line #3...
        Which reads:
        SCRIPTS_DIR = "C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\My Documents\ScratchHolograms-master" PYTHON_PATH = "C:\Python27" ...

        You must always escape the \ folder de-liminator within ANY "" - OR use '' or / etc.
        So change these everywhere to be something like one of these examples...
        SCRIPTS_DIR = "C:\\Documents and Settings\\Administrator\\My Documents\\ScratchHolograms-master" ...
        or
        SCRIPTS_DIR = 'C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\My Documents\ScratchHolograms-master' ...
        or
        SCRIPTS_DIR = "C:/Documents and Settings/Administrator/My Documents/ScratchHolograms-master" ...
        or
        SCRIPTS_DIR = 'C:/Documents and Settings/Administrator/My Documents/ScratchHolograms-master' ...

        The ' /' is the safer folder-path de-liminator...
        The \ within "" is taken as an escape character, like in \n == Newline and \t == Tab...

            you have spaces before and after draw_pattern.py which may be the issue...

                EDIT:
                I now realize it's about the Windows need for trapping spaces in file paths - change it thus:
                Change your paths to keep the \ - the system-calls expect them NOT /:
                SCRIPTS_DIR = "C:\\Documents and Settings\\Administrator\\My Documents\\ScratchHolograms-master" PYTHON_PATH = "C:\\Python27"
                Then enclose the two parts of the system-call inside "" :
                IO.popen('"'+PYTHON_PATH+"\\draw_pattern.py"+'" "'+base_dir+"\\"+proposal+'"')

                    have a look at Dan's

                    it was based on a python [py/dxf] script that I couldn't get to run...
                    he reworked it to SU ruby, may be a simpler approach...

                      I'm no expert on 'python' but isn't the cmd code more like this:

                      path_to_py argument(s)

                      Also have you got 'python' set up right in cmd window ?

                      ftype Python26.File="C:\Python26\python.exe" "%1" %
                      assoc .py=Python26.File*

                      AND then run it...

                      IO.popen('"'+PYTHON_PATH+"\\draw_pattern.py+'" "'+base_dir+"\\"+proposal+'"')
                      OR
                      **system**('"'+PYTHON_PATH+"\\draw_pattern.py+'" "'+base_dir+"\\"+proposal+'"')

                      OR perhaps the .py part can't be inside "" ?

                      Read this about file associations... http://eli.thegreenplace.net/2010/12/14/problem-passing-arguments-to-python-scripts-on-windows/

                                        Nothing worked out, did it?

                                        Finished exporting vertex data.
                                        Running python script...
                                        Error; #<Errno;;ENOEXEC; Exec format error - "C;\Python27\draw_pattern.py" "C;\Documents and Settings\Administrator\My DocumentsUntitled.pattern">

                                          I assume the .py and .pattern files exist ?
                                          Try this instead - there was a missing \ before ' proposal':
                                          d = system('"'+PYTHON_PATH+'\draw_pattern.py" "'+base_dir%(#0000FF)[+"\\"]+proposal+'"')
                                          If you paste this into a Windows cmd window [including the "s] does it work ?
                                          "C:\Python27\draw_pattern.py" "C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\My Documents%(#0000FF)[\]**Untitled**.pattern" - substitute the **Untitled** with another name if appropriate...
