C and Python

[alexnb185]

This really isn't related to C and i am sorry about that. But I didn't know who else to ask, and I figure some of you guys will know. Besides python is written in C ;]. But anyway, the system(); function in C basically lets you pass commands to either terminal or command prompt. But what is the equivalent of doing that in python? Is there one? Also, does anyone know of a good message board like this one I could join for python?


Thanks a bunch

Okay, I think i found something.

import os
os.environ['USER'] = 'alex'
os.popen('python echoenv.py').read()

Where "python echoenv.py" is replaced with the command.

I am talking to myself. Nobody is reading this
