Does this do what you want?  It creates a new cmd window titled "Dir", then 
executes some commands.  If you want the window to stay open after executing 
the commands, use /k instead of /c.  'cmd /?' gives other switches you might 
want.  The escaping(^) of the ampersands(&) is required or the commands will 
run in the current console not the new one.

import os
os.system('start cmd /c title Dir ^&^& dir ^&^& pause')
