Revisiting this, here is what I am trying to do:

path = "python [..path..]/test.py"

print path + "\n"

test = %x[python [..path..]/test.py]

print test

testing = %x[uptime]

print testing


Here is the output:

python [..path..]/test.py
Testing! my script
2nd line
  8:20am  up 181 days 20:55,  7 users,  load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00

However, what I was expecting from the test variable was this:

print "Testing! my script "
print "2nd line"

def returnValue():
        return True

returnValue()

Where I was expecting to see test = True.  The return value of the 
system call is not being capture when I call a python script, yet IS 
when a 'system call' is made.

Anyone have any insight into this?
