方法一、使用os模块的system方法
os.system（cmd），其返回值是shell指令运行后返回的状态码，
int类型，
0--表示shell指令成功执行，
256--表示shell未找到，
该方法适用于shell命令不需要输出内容的场景。
方法二、使用os.popen()
该方法以文件的形式返回shell指令运行后的结果，
需要获取内容时可使用read()或readlines（）方法，举例如下：

方法三、使用commands模块，有三个方法可以使用
（1）commands.getstatusoutput(cmd)，其以字符串的形式返回的是输出结果和状态码，即（status,output）。
（2）commands.getoutput(cmd)，返回cmd的输出结果。
（3）commands.getstatus(file)，返回ls -l file的执行结果字符串，调用了getoutput，不建议使用此方法
方法四、subprocess模块
允许创建很多子进程，创建的时候能指定子进程和子进程的输入、输出、错误输出管道，执行后能获取输出结果和执行状态。
（1）subprocess.run()：python3.5中新增的函数， 执行指定的命令， 等待命令执行完成后返回一个包含执行结果的CompletedProcess类的实例。
（2）subprocess.call()：执行指定的命令， 返回命令执行状态， 功能类似os.system（cmd）。
（3）subprocess.check_call()：python2.5中新增的函数, 执行指定的命令, 如果执行成功则返回状态码， 否则抛出异常。
说明：subprocess.run(args, *, stdin=None, input=None, stdout=None, stderr=None, shell=False, timeout=None, check=False, universal_newlines=False)
subprocess.call(args, *, stdin=None, stdout=None, stderr=None, shell=False, timeout=None)
subprocess.check_call(args, *, stdin=None, stdout=None, stderr=None, shell=False, timeout=None)
args：表示shell指令，若以字符串形式给出shell指令，如"ls -l "则需要使shell = Ture。否则默认已数组形式表示shell变量，如"ls","-l"。
当使用比较复杂的shell语句时，可以先使用shlex模块的shlex.split()方法来帮助格式化命令，然后在传递给run()方法或Popen。
附上python2.7中的subprocess模块源码供理解（pycharm查看方法源码，ctrl+左键）。
