I would like to automate running virtualenv with a python script by:

opening gnome-terminal
cd to proper directory
run source /bin/activate

I found some examples of using os.system() to get gnome-terminal to open but I can't figure out how then cd to the proper directory in the new terminal.

My biggest frustration right now is that I can't find any documentation on how to use os.system(). Looking at the docs on the Python site I don't see system() under the os module. Googling hasn't helped.

Thanks,  Jim
