Python and command line

[Carlis]

Hi

I am wondering, can you access the command line from a python program? I am developing some simulation software that I want to be able to run on solaris osx and linux, and the scripting part is a little to much to be done with the usual script.sh route...

Best regards, Carlis

Yes. Look at the following to get started:

os.system()
os.popen()
os.popen2() ... and 3, and 4

I'd skip over those. Just use subprocess.
