It's somewhat messy.

A while bak, I got around the problem by making a new module for use
from scripts, see https://launchpad.net/sloppycode.

bzr branch lp:sloppycode

and check out test_slist.py. With it you can use something like:

    out = shcmd("ls -l /usr/bin")
    lscmds = out.fields(7).grep('^ls').n
    assert 'lsof' in lscmds

The module also covers various other "messy coding" goodies like
string interpolation used by ipython (Itpl) and chdir context manager.
