(1) os.system
# 仅仅在一个子终端运行系统命令，而不能获取命令执行后的返回信息
system(command) -> exit_status
Execute the command (a string) in a subshell.
# 如果再命令行下执行，结果直接打印出来
>>> os.system('ls')

(2) os.popen
# 该方法不但执行命令还返回执行后的信息对象
popen(command [, mode='r' [, bufsize]]) -> pipe
Open a pipe to/from a command returning a file object.
例如：
>>>tmp = os.popen('ls *.py').readlines()
>>>tmp
Out[]:
['dump_db_pickle.py ',
'dump_db_pickle_recs.py ',
'dump_db_shelve.py ',
'initdata.py ',
'__init__.py ',
'make_db_pickle.py ',
'make_db_pickle_recs.py ',
'make_db_shelve.py ',
'peopleinteract_query.py ',
'reader.py ',
'testargv.py ',
'teststreams.py ',
'update_db_pickle.py ',
'writer.py ']
好处在于：将返回的结果赋于一变量，便于程序的处理。
