Capture DOS error???

I'm writing a script which at some point will map to a list of servers. The
program will be keeping a log of problems it encounters to be reviewed
later. To map the drive, I am using:

sDrive =
["B","F","G","I","J","K","L","M","N","O","P","Q","R","S","T","U","V","W","X"
,"Y","Z"]
iIndex = 0
shellCmd = ""
for s in sImage: # list of servers
shellCmd = "map " + sDrive[iIndex] + ":=" + s
iIndex=iIndex + 1
os.system(shellCmd)

My question is this...Is there a way to capture the DOS error it would
display if it had a problem mapping the server? I want to detect the
exception if there is one and write it to the log file. I have tried using
OSError, SystemError, and StandardError without success. I'm not
necessarily looking for someone to write the code for me as much as pointing
me in the right direction.

Thanks,

Would this help:
errorlevel = os.system(shellCmd)
if errorlevel != 0:
# do error stuff here

Thanks! That was perfect. I originally was expecting the output to be a
string, but soon worked it all out.

Thanks again

Can you clarify? What is a DOS error? You mean an error in reading or
writing a file? That would be an IOError exception. If a file is not
found, or you can't read it, that's an OSError exception. Beyond that, I'm
not sure what you're asking for.
