Try looking here:
http://docs.python.org/tutorial/stdlib.html#operating-system-interface

There is a module in python called os

Here is an example from the documentation

>>> import os
>>> os.getcwd()      # Return the current working directory
'C:\\Python26'
>>> os.chdir('/server/accesslogs')   # Change current working directory
>>> os.system('mkdir today')   # Run the command mkdir in the system shell
