Code that will write into cmd

import os

os.system("ping nytimes.com")

import subprocess

subprocess.call("ping nytimes.com")  # same as os.system()

# capture the called program's output
p = subprocess.Popen("ping nytimes.com", stdout=subprocess.PIPE)

# get just the first line of output from 'ping'
lines = p.stdout.read().splitlines()
firstline = lines[1]

# extract the IP address from the ping trace
startpos = firstline.find('[')
endpos = firstline.find(']')
print firstline[startpos + 1:endpos]
