any advice
Yes -- learn to read the error messages you get. The error you get is a
shell error, not a Python error. It is *exactly* the same error you
would get if you do this by hand:
sh-3.2$ ls/
sh: ls/: No such file or directory
This tells you that the shell can't find a file called "ls/". No
surprises there -- you want "ls /". So you need to include a space in
the shell command that you pass to os.system.
