Is there a limit to os.popen()?

> kr = string.strip(os.popen('make kernelrelease').read())

If make is being executed, I presume that the python script has rw 
access to the location. How about

x=os.system("make kernelrelease > my_report 2>&1 ")
kr=open("my_report").read()


Just a blind throw.

Good luck
