Python to call commands, e.g. "find , perl scripts , nmap , and others" is this possible?

[Emile van Sebille]

Jim,

Take a look at os.popen, as in:

import os
mylist = os.popen('locate myname').readlines()
for eachfile in mylist: do something with eachfile

HTH,

Dear list, 
I'm new to Python, and I'm sorry if I'm asking about anything that has been 
already discussed. 

I would like to use Python to call commands, e.g. "find , perl scripts  , nmap , and others" is this possible? 

I do not need GUI. All I need is to link the out put and work with it. Is perl or shell scripts my only 
answer?
