I am using ogrinfo in python to obtain information about a shapefile.
My code is as follows:
from subprocess import Popen, PIPE
args = ['ogrinfo', '-ro', '-so', '-al', 'C:/test/test_shapefile.shp']
process = Popen(args, stdout=PIPE, stderr=PIPE)
stdout = process.communicate()[0].decode('utf-8').strip()
print(stdout)
In turn, this gives me a large amount of information
e.g.

I'm wondering, is there any way to store certain information as a variable?
For example:
one_extent = 317044.250000, 322287.250000
second_extent = 681703.750000, 685053.250000
epsg = 4277
