Getting console output in python string

I have a problem with getting some linux code output in python. I think it is because of escape characters

The command I trying to run

nmap 192.168.1.* -p T:80 --open | awk '/is up/ {print up}; {gsub (/(|)/,""); up = $NF}'

and i wanna replace that 192.168.1.* with a string variable like

network = "192.168.1.*"
nmap + network + -p T:80 --open | awk '/is up/ {print up}; {gsub (/(|)/,""); up = $NF}'

Every time i try getting error. Thanks for response!

Answer

i found the solution like this

command = "nmap "+network+ " -p T:80 --open | awk " + r"""'/is up/ {print up}; {gsub (/(|)/,""); up = $NF}'"""
output = str(os.popen(command).read()).strip()
print output

thanks anyway…
