I am trying to save the output of
>>>dirs = os.system('ls')
into a variable but I do not need any output to
the screen (altho it doesn't hurt). How do I
go about this?
My fat book only explains how to get output to the screen.
I could do
>>>os.system('ls > file')
>>>f = open('file')
>>>dirs = f.readlines()
but it looks crude. Is there a better way?
