To be picky you don't send the command to the Terminal
but to the OS. But the output will appear in the terminal which
is what I assume you mean... :-)

> os.system(), os.popen(), etc.

Also the commands module or the more recent
subprocess module which is intended to replace
all of the previous mechanisms eventually.

See my OS topic in my tutor for examples of all of these.
