You can use one of these:
the subprocess module: http://docs.python.org/lib/module-subprocess.html
the popen2 module: http://docs.python.org/lib/module-popen2.html
popen and spawn variants from the os module:
http://docs.python.org/lib/os-process.html
pexpect (it is not in the standard library):
http://pexpect.sourceforge.net/
I believe that if you do not need the extended functionality of
"pexpect", then you should start with the "subprocess" module.
It is the newest.
