subprocess is the way to go.

Here's an example showing how to translate a shell pipe:

http://docs.python.org/library/subpr...shell-pipeline

But even if you can port the shell script literally I recommend a more
structured approach:

import subprocess
import itertools

def parse_data(lines):
for not_empty, group in itertools.groupby(lines, key=bool):
if not_empty:
triples = (line.partition(":") for line in group)
pairs = ((left, right.strip()) for left, sep, right in triples)
yield dict(pairs)

if __name__ == "__main__":
def get(field):
return entry.get(field, "").lower()
output = subprocess.Popen(["lspci", "-vmm"],
stdout=subprocess.PIPE).communicate()[0]
for entry in parse_data(output.splitlines()):
if "nvidia" in get("Vendor") and "usb" in get("Device"):
print entry["Slot"]
print entry["Device"]
print
