Check the return value from os.system. If it's not 0, there was an error,
likely caused by incorrect input.
Better yet, catch the error message you get back from the command line, and act
on that (eg, show it to the user).
Eg,
>>> r = os.system("hello")
sh: hello: command not found
>>> print r
32512
And have a look at the subprocess module, which I think is now the de facto
module to run external processes.
