If dmidecode is a command-line program, maybe something using os.popen:
#!/usr/bin/env python
import os
dmiOutput = os.popen("dmidecode", "r")
status = None
for line in dmiOutput:
line = line.strip()
if line.startswith("Status: "):
status = line.split("Status: ", 1)[1]
break
if status is not None:
print "Status is: ", status
else:
print "No status information found"
