There may be a better way to achieve what you want to do, without using the
shell at all.  For example, the os and os.path modules include a range of
functions for manipulating files and directories (listing, walking, moving,
renaming, et cetera).  Perhaps, if you say what you are trying to achieve, we
can give some pointers.
