Does this do what you want? It creates a new cmd window titled
"Dir", then executes some commands.
import os
os.system('start cmd /c title Dir ^&^& dir ^&^& pause')
It didn't do quite what I expected, but it made me look at the
help for start, which says:
===================
Starts a separate window to run a specified program or command.
START ["title"] [/Dpath] [/I] [/MIN] [/MAX] [/SEPARATE | /SHARED]
[/LOW | /NORMAL | /HIGH | /REALTIME | /ABOVENORMAL |
/BELOWNORMAL]
[/WAIT] [/B] [command/program]
[parameters]
"title" Title to display in window title bar.
path Starting directory
=====================
So it looks like simply running start and specifying a title string
before the command should do the trick:
os.system('start "my window" cmd.exe')
Note the title MUST be in double quotes so the string to system must
either be rw or use single quotes.

If you want the window to stay open after executing
the commands, use /k instead of /c. 'cmd /?' gives other switches
you might want. The escaping(^) of the ampersands(&) is required or
the commands will run in the current console not the new one.
import os
os.system('start cmd /c title Dir ^&^& dir ^&^& pause')
