Thanks, Hugo. Unfortunately, it doesn't work for me; for example:
>>> print getoutput("dir")
'{' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
The docs say:
Availability: Unix.
And I'm on Windows/XP, so I'm guessing that although the module's there,
it just doesn't work on Windows.
