um, all of those you can do in cmd, but if you want to do direct cmd/system calls, use os.system() (note: these are windows system commands; these wont work an a non microsoft operating system)

import os,sys
# change shell window
os.system('title whatever u want here')
# to view all color options, type color fu in cmd.
os.system('color 0a')
# as for opening files, just do it like you would in cmd
os.system('myfile.py')

look around the os and sys modules for python; they should help you
