Try looking at os.popen3

You can do something like

stdin, stdout, stderr = os.popen3(command)
while not done:
        try:
                outputstr = stdout.readline()
                if outputstr == '':
                        done = 1
                else:
                        # do something with textview and outputstr
        except (IOError):
                # ignore interrupted system calls here otherwise
                done = 1

stdin.close()
stdout.close()
stderr.close()
