I need to run an rsync command from Python. Is this possible and if so, how do I do it?
rsync -Ccavz --delete DJStatic username#website
You can call a subprocess from python using the following snippet
import subprocess
subprocess.call(["ls", "-l"])
In your case, it would be something like this
subprocess.call(["rsync", "-Ccavz", "--delete","DJStatic", "username#website"])
See here for more details.

You are looking for sys.argv to access them. Here is a tutorial:

If you want to get more serious and use a package to do this more elegantly, you should research the argparse package which is excellent and very intuitive to use.

How can I use command line tools like ls, grep from python.
This is done with subprocess
import subprocess
subprocess.call("ls", shell=True)
You can use the package getopt to use command line arguments with your python code.
There is also a more advanced module called argparse that is easier to code in and provides more help and helpful error messages.
I think if you import os and do os.system(command) that can execute commands.
import os
os.system("your command here")

I am trying to using os.system function to call command 'history'
but the stdout just show that 'sh :1 history: not found'
Other example i.e. os.system('ls') is works. Can anyone can tell me why 'history' does not work, and how to call 'history' command in Python script.
history is not an executable file, but a built-in bash command. You can't run it with os.system.
