Getting return value of another script

[Dylan Reinhardt]

Hi all,

I'm trying to launch a shell script from Python, but I want to get the 
actual output of the script, not just the shell's exit status.  Unless I'm 
missing something, it doesn't appear that os.exec* or os.spawn* return 
anything but the exit status.

I'm running this with Python 2.1.3 on Gentoo Linux.

Thanks in advance for any tips,

Dylan
