catching results of ping on NT

[Jeffrey Kunce]

I have a wrapper for os.system() that captures the results
(stdout and stderr). It's a little bit clunky, because it uses
temporary files. But I originally had problems with popen()
hanging on me, and this route seemed more robust.

syscmd.py at http://starship.python.net/~jjkunce/

I'm trying to write a script that saves the results of the ping command on
NT.  I can make the ping command happen with os.system('ping...') .
However, I can't figure out how to get the results of this command into a
Python data structure.  I've studied the os and sys modules but they don't
seem to have anything that can do this.
Thanks,

Ben
