Executing external programs via c

import time
print time.ctime()

this snippet will print the system time.
in my networking lab, i used this python snippet to print the system time.
actually i have to write a client, server program in c to achieve this. but i
have found a lazy way.

when mam ask us to show the output i planned to run this python snippet :) (don't tell her);

only problem is i cannot make it as an executable code.

./timecli

this wont work. because only sudoers can use the chmod command to make it executable.

but gcc can make an executables.

so i planned to write a c program to run the python snippet.

#include "stdio.h"
int main()
{
  char cmd[20];
  sprintf(cmd, "python time.py");
  system(cmd);
  return 0;
}

after the compilation using gcc i got a executable to my python snippet.

happy cheating :)
