gnuyoga suggested - i.e. -
commands.getstatusoutput("scp ..."). If the first entry in the
returned tuple is 0, the command executed successfully, if not, then
it didn't :). I think you can trust python to get the correct exit
code without actually parsing the output from the scp command to
confirm this by hand (so to speak :)).
