[Andrew]

Hello world,

I'm working on a script that will run an executable obtaine the output  
 from the executable
and do some analysis on the output. Essentially the script runs the  
executable analyses
the data.
I'm looking into os.popen and the subprocess module, implementing os.popen  
is easy but i hear
it is depreciating  however I'm finding the implemantation of subprocess  
daunting can anyone help
