[Zope] Re: [lazug] Executing Shell Script

[Kapil Thangavelu]

unrestricted python code  is needed (external method,
or product). if you don't care about the response from
the shell script then using os.system will do the
trick.. please validate your input from the web before
passing to something like this... 

import os
script_command = 'mkdir /root/path/%s'

def execute_my_script(arg):
   os.system(script_command%arg)

if you need to process output try one of the popen
modules (see docs on python.org). ZCVS has a nice
abstraction over this in its ShellCommandProcessor;
