It is not necessarily a bad idea. He is not saying he wants to run an
arbitrary command.
If the command is, for example, "ls -l > mydir" you can run it with
import os
os.system("ls -l > mydir")
There are some caveats:
- do not run the commands that can take long time otherwise
- consider using the scheduler
- it may be a security hazard to run arbitrary commands
