How to Add variables to os.system() command

I am programming a software that does manipulation of my screens (3 monitors).

I would like to add a variable in my line os.system(R'"command line here"')

import os
os.getcwd()
os.system(R'"tools\MultiMonitorTool.exe /MoveWindow "\\.\DISPLAY5" Process "msedge.exe""')
os.system(R'"tools\MultiMonitorTool.exe /MoveWindow "\\.\DISPLAY1" Process "Pos.exe""')
os.system(R'"tools\MultiMonitorTool.exe /MoveWindow "\\.\DISPLAY2" Process "chrome.exe""')

I would like to replace the words \\.\DISPLAY# with a variable in my configurations.ini file. I succeeded in displaying the information in my configurations.ini file but I can't insert it in my os.system() code, it always gives an error.

Each computer has a different screen configuration. So I need to have a config file with the info for each installation.

My configuratoins.ini

[Configuration]
frontview = \\DISPLAY5
topview = \\DISPLAY2
mainview = \\DISPLAY1

I am learning Laravel and I am wondering where does this kernel constructor receives its arguments from. "POSTMOTERM" CLARIFICATION: Here is more clarity.I have checked the boostrap/app.php and it is only used for boostrapping the interfaces into the container class. What is not clear to me is where and how the Kernel class is instatiated and the arguments passed to the object calling the constructor.Something similar to; obj = new kernel(arg1,arg2) or, is the framework using some magic functions somewhere? Special gratitude to those who burn their eyeballs and brain cells on this trivia before it goes into a full blown menopause alias "MARKED AS DUPLICATE". To some of the itchy-finger keyboard warriors, a.k.a The mods,because I believe in th...
