title: Can't run os.system command in Django?
body: <p>We have a Django app running on apache server (mod_python) on a windows machine which needs to call some r scripts.  To do so it would be easiest to call r through os.system, however when django gets to the os.system command it freezes up.  I've also tried subprocess with the same result.</p>
  
  <p>We have a possibly related problem in that Django can only access the file system of the machine it's on, all network drives appear to be invisible to it, which is VERY frustrating.</p>
  
  <p>Any ideas on both of these issues (I'm assuming it's the same limitation in both instances) would be most appreciated.</p>
