Try looking here:

      
        http://docs.python.org/tutorial/stdlib.html#operating-system-interface
      
      

There is a module in python called os

Here is an example from the documentation

>>>
      
         import os

      
      >>>
      
         os.getcwd()      # Return the current working directory

      
      'C:\\Python26'
>>>
      
         os.chdir('/server/accesslogs')   # Change current working directory

      
      >>>
      
         os.system('mkdir today')   # Run the command mkdir in the system shell

      
      0
