I have a command line app that can take up to 20 minutes to complete and

command I use to a) invoke the command and b) how to capture it's out put

os.popen() will probably do what you want.
e.g.:
import os
some_external_command = "ls"
prog_output = os.popen(some_external_command)
for status_line in prog_output:
print status_line
