Yes, this is very possible. Specify shell=True as an argument and you can
do anything you can do in a shell:

 >>> commands = """echo hello
... echo hello | wc -l
... ps aux | grep python"""
>>> b = subprocess.check_output(commands, shell=True)
>>> print(b.decode('ascii'))
hello

watch out though, accepting user input into the commands variable will lead
to shell injection, which can be a dangerous security vulnerability.
