[Tutor] Issuing Linux commands

[S A]

Try:
import commands
print commands.getoutput("ls")

This will run the ls command and print it's output to your shell. I think this runs the commands through zsh? To see more:
dir(commands)

Then see what each part does by:
help(commands."whatever")

(substituting whatever for the class method of course.

Hope this helps.
