title: How to get text from commandline with python
body: <p>I need to read out the text from a cmd prompt window (which updates every second) in my Python program. I'm using Windows 7. Anyone have an idea how to do this? </p>
  
  <p>edit:</p>
  
  <p>I didn’t explain it very well.
  The cmd prompt is already open and I need to read out everything it prints.
  I have to "link" my Python program to the command prompt.</p>
