get printed value after execution of os command python

I am running the following function in python where a user is prompted for a password and the an os.system command is run with the password as an argument :

    password = raw_input("Please enter keystore password\n")
    gradle_command = "./gradlew assemble" + flavor_name + "release  -Pprop=\"['" + password + "']\""
    try:
        os.chdir("../")
        os.system(gradle_command)
    except OSError:
        sys.exit("Error building apk,")

The problem is that the except never gets called. If the user types in the wrong password the gradle command executes and prints BUILD FAILED.

What i want to know is how i can register that the build has failed to exit the script accordingly. is there a way i can grab the BUILD_FAILED printed value?

Thanks in advance.

Figured it out. A failed gradle execution will return a non zero number so i can do the following:

 password = raw_input("Please enter keystore password\n")
 gradle_command = "./gradlew assemble" + flavor_name + "release  -Pprop=\"['" + password + "']\""
 if os.system(gradle_command) is not 0:
    sys.exit("Error building apk")
