How can I use the OS module to execute commands in Python?

You can use the os.system() function to execute shell commands. For example, os.system('ls') will list directory contents.

Can I capture the output of the command instead of just executing it?

Yes, you can use subprocess.run() or subprocess.check_output() for capturing output. For example, output = subprocess.check_output(['ls']).

What if I want to execute a command with arguments?

You can pass a list of arguments to subprocess.run(). For example, subprocess.run(['ls', '-l']).

Are there any security concerns I should be aware of?

Yes, be cautious with user input to avoid shell injection attacks. Always validate or sanitize inputs.
