There are two ways you can do this on *nix... the 'commands' module is by far the best, the disadvantage being that its only available on *nix!
http://www.python.org/doc/2.3.3/lib...e-commands.html Your other option is the system() function from the os module i.e. Code:
pseudocode
import os
os.system('command')
http://www.python.org/doc/2.3.3/lib/os-process.html Mark.

os.system won't help if you want the output. commands.getoutput is the easiest way, but there are also the popen* modules to allow advanced control of all the possible file-handle combinations involved with process invocation and management.
However, for specifically getting directory contents, use os.listdir.
