For some reason os.popen is deprecated in favor of the more verbose subprocess.Popen, but this will work for a while.
As explained in http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0324/subprocess consolidated replaced several modules and functions (popen*, system, spawn*, ???)with better security, exception handling, and flexibility. The deprecated modules are gone in 3.0, so the OP might want to start with subprocess now.
