I prefer usage of subprocess module:
from subprocess import call
call(["ls", "-l"])
Reason is that if you want to pass some variable in the script this gives very easy way for example take the following part of the code
abc = a.c
call(["vim", abc])
There are several ways to do this:
A simple way is using the os module:
import os
os.system("ls -l")
More complex things can be achieved with the subprocess module: for example:
import subprocess
test = subprocess.Popen(["ping","-W","2","-c", "1", "192.168.1.70"], stdout=subprocess.PIPE)
output = test.communicate()[0]
