[K12OSN] python help

[Vern Ceder]

Chuck,

What you have will work just fine. The only problem is that you imported 
everything from the os module directly into the namespace, but then 
tried to call os.system("echo done"). Using that sort of import you 
should just use system() (no "os.").

Either do:

import os
....
os.system("echo done")

*OR*

from os import *
...
system("echo done")

Hope this helps,

Vern
