How about this (untested):

-------- cut here --------
import subprocess

print ("import os")
make = subprocess.Popen(["make", "-n"],stdout=subprocess.PIPE)
makeout = make.communicate()[0]
for l in makeout.split('\n'):
    print 'os.system("%s")' % l.replace('"', '\"')
-------- cut here --------

The quote escaping replace() might not be quite right, but you get
what I'm suggesting, right? To mangle a lwall quote, "The only
substitute for make is make."
