See <http://docs.python.org/lib/os-process.html>

Briefly, once you have the list name, owner email and list password in
appropriate variables, and the members in a file, you can do something
like

import os
stat = os.spawnl(os.P_WAIT, 'path/to/bin/newlist', 'newlist', '-q',
                 list_name, owner_email, list_password)
if stat:
    print 'newlist command failed - %d' % stat
    ...
stat = os.spawnl(os.P_WAIT, 'path/to/bin/add_members', 'add_members',
                 '-r members file', '-w y', ...)
...
