Executing shell commands from a Django app/project

I want to be able to execute some shell commands like mkvirtualenv and createdb and such from a Django app, these processes will likely go into a Django celery task later. I would think using system() would be insecure to execute shell commands from Django/Apache, so my question is what is the best way to execute shell commands from a django app?

To start a shell process in the background you can use the subprocess module.
