There is os.popen in 2.3, as well as popen2 module. Did you mean
subprocess? I guess it's ported to 2.3 too.

os.system passes commend to shell, which handles redirect for you
instead of passing '>' to xform.exe as parameter. Use os.system or
subprocess (a.k.a. popen5).

Syntax error here. Did you mean 'c:\\Radiance\\bin\\xform.exe'?

This corresponds to
c:\Radiance<BS>in\ '-t 0 8 0' wall0.rad '>' wall0.TRANS.rad'
command line.

Don't understand how you got this error having syntax error and wrong
path to executable.

BTW, you are trying to redirect stdout. Wrong subject?
