Have each command write to a unique temp file.
Create temp files in python
cmd = 'date > /tmp/date_temp 2>&1 ; uptime > /tmp/uptime_temp
2>&1; ...'
execute cmd
for file in tempfiles:
...
You can also get the return value of each command
cmd = 'date > /tmp/date_temp 2>&1; echo $? >> /tmp/date_temp;
uptime > /tmp/uptime_temp 2>&1; echo $? >> ...'
