ok, I was thinking of shifting using subprocess, guess I'd better do
that and forget about this waste of time.
thanks

You may not be dense, but you are certainly fairly aggressive in your
postings. If you just want to complain, go ahead. If you want actual
help, you should reconsider your tone.

I'm sorry, this may seem dense to you but I have to ask. What on earth

Why is it shifted 8 bits to the left? Why is there bitshifting at all?
Why doesn't commands give the same exit value as os.system() and the
unix cli?
When you choose to exit a program you give it a re
A famous Holden typo - it should have been "12 * 256 == 3072", but
really it shouldn't have been beyond you to perform a division of 3072
by 12 (given that you already knew the number 12 was potentially involved).
Basically the value you want is shifted up 8 bits. Perhaps I should more

I don't quite understand what you are saying here:
2 * 256 is 512,
2 ** 256 is some extremely large number.
2**12 is 4096.
So how does 3072 factor into this?
Could you explain what you mean by "the error in the top half of a
sixteen-bit value"?
This makes no sense to me at this moment.

I'm running a command like
import commands
result = commands.getstatusoutput('somecommand')
print result[0]
3072
However, this exit code made no sense so I ran it manually from the
command line in bash on my linux server and it gives the exit code as
12, not this weird 3072 number.
So I tried
