[Tutor] Replacing cmd.exe with custom .py application

[Ezra Taylor]

Joseph:
             Check out subprocess.  The subprocess module is on python
2.4.  Also, use subprocess.call("your command",shell=True)

On Linux/Unix, the process is below

import subprocess

ret = subprocess.call("dir",shell=True,stdout=open('/dev/null','w'),stderr=subprocess.STDOUT)

print ret

You should get a return value of 0.  Which means that it was
successful.  I'm still learning this myself, so some of these other
guys might have more input.
