[Tutor] how to do "bash here"

[Al Bogner]

I try to learn python by writing working bash-scripts in python. How can I do 
a bash-syntax like this with python:

mysql --host=$MYSQLHOST -A --user=$MYSQLUSER --password=$MYSQLPWD $MYSQLDB 
<<END_OF_SQLINPUT | sed '1,/^export/d' > "$FDIMPORT"
$MYSQLEXPORTCMDFD
END_OF_SQLINPUT

Thanks a lot for your help!
