I cannot reproduce your error, all goes well.
First I made a bash script called hallo.in, with only one line in it:

echo Hello, this hello.in

and next in the interactive python shell:

>>> import os
>>> root='hello'
>>> print "source "+root+".in"
source hello.in
>>> os.system("source "+root+".in")
Hello, this hello.in
