While reading the subprocess documentation, I found a great example on
how to call commands with a PIPE
http://docs.python.org/library/subprocess.html
**
output=`dmesg | grep hda`
# becomes
p1 = Popen(["dmesg"], stdout=PIPE)
p2 = Popen(["grep", "hda"], stdin=p1.stdout, std

FWIW, I think this seems to fix it and make IPcount an integer.
import os
IPcount = os.popen("wc -l file.txt | awk '{print $1}'").read()

Thank you, Martin. This was helpful. Installed Strace and found out

I am new to Python and am trying to figure out how to execute Linux
commands via a Python wrapper.
This works

#this works okay
import subprocess
uname = "uname"
uname_arg = "-a"
subprocess.call([uname,uname_arg])
