OR, perhaps you want it to look right in a web page:

#!C:\Python23\python.exe
import os
print "Content-type: text/html\r\n\r\n"
cmdpipe = os.popen("ipconfig","r")
print '<html><head><title>ipconfig</title></head><body>'
lines = cmdpipe.readlines()
for line in lines:
  print line,'<br>'
print '</body></html>'
