I'm a python n00b and so pardon me in advance if this is really stupid
question.
I have my suspicions but why does the following not work the way I'm
anticipating it will?
(python 2.4.4)
>>> import os
>>> if (os.system('echo test')):
... print 'success'
... else:
... print 'failed'
...
test
failed
>>> if (os.system('echosadf test')):
... print 'success'
... else:
... print 'failed'
...
sh: echosadf: command not found
success
>>>
