When I run the following command:

I get the following result
2304
--------------------
However, when I try to set this value to a variable, ie
w= os.system("identify -format %w '/someDIR/images/david.huggins/
100_0264.JPG'")
print w
I get
TypeError: argument 1 must be string or read-only buffer, not int
The return value of os.system() is the exit status of the command it
runs. You are looking for its output, instead of exit status. To
get at its output, use the subprocess module http://www.python.org/
doc/current/lib/module-subprocess.html
