I agree above statement but When I delete a directory

if directory is not present then I again try to

os.system('rm -rf test') 
now this time also It will print
0
As Roman Neuhauser says, this is the correct behavior of the -f switch 
for rm.

In [4]:os.system('rm -r foo')
rm: foo: No such file or directory
Out[4]:256
In [5]:os.system('rm -rf foo')
Out[5]:0
