title: SBCL Run Shell Command
body: <p>I've seen <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/q/6065446/1281433">Executing a shell command from Common Lisp</a> and its answers, but I'm still not sure whether SBCL provides a way execute shell commands from code.</p>
  
  <p>The <a href="http://www.sbcl.org/manual/#sb_002dposix" rel="nofollow noreferrer">SBCL Manual</a> does support POSIX, but I was hoping for something a bit more higher level. Specifically, I want to call a Python script and capture the return value. Is there any way to do this?</p>
