there are several ways depending on what exactly you want to achieve:
sys.exit(return _value):
terminates the python process and gives controll back to the shell
os.system(comma nd_string):
execute command string in a subshell. result is the return value of
command_str
subprocess.Pope n(command):
starts command as a subprocess and allows you to "communicat e" with
that process, i.e. lets you send something to its stdin and
retrieve data
from its stdout and stderr streams. have a look at the docs of that
module
for more information.

I'm not sure what you mean by "go to", but if you want to start an
interactive OS shell from inside Python, you can do:
[color=blue][color=green][color=darkred]
>>> import os
>>> os.system(os.en viron["SHELL"])[/color][/color][/color]
on Unix, and
[color=blue][color=green][color=darkred]
>>> import os
>>> os.system(os.en viron["comspec"])[/color][/color][/color]
on Windows.
