Found the solution
subprocess.Popen([r"C:/Program Files/Autodesk/Maya2013/bin/maya.exe", ‘-command’, ‘polySphere’])

I might not have this 100% right, since I’m not at maya right now, so straight of the top of my head…
I often use QProcess (PyQt4 or PySide)
Heres a PyQt4 example…

from PyQt4.QtCore import QProcess
cmd = 'C:/Program Files/Autodesk/Maya2013/bin/maya.exe -command polySphere'
pro = QProcess()
pro.startDetached(cmd)
