Yes, I have did 'import os'. For starters I want to read the result of 'pwd' and print it out in the program for the user to see what path is being read. Also, I need to have a function to handle root access if the user does not have such privledges since I will be mounting and unmounting hardware. So a call to 'su' would be in order as well as sending the user provided password back to it.
Aside from that, just so copying of files, making dirs, and changing file permissions.
