If you process needs input from stdin, os.system(...) is not how
to do it. Instead you should use os.popen(...) or for better control
the functions defined in subprocess module.
Since I don't want to type stuff again, refer to this recipe
which I submitted some time back. It illustrates different ways
of using subprocess module. You should take a look at
execute_command_in_pipe function.
http://code.activestate.com/recipes/498137/
For example, here is how to use subprocess to capture
output from directory listing of /tmp.
>>> from subprocess import *
>>> cmd=['ls','-la','/tmp']
>>> p=Popen(cmd, stdout=PIPE, stderr=PIPE)
>>> out, err=p.communicate()
>>> print out
total 76

Likewise you can construct code which can communicate
with stdin, stdout/stderr.
