Execute external Commands
Warning: executing shell command like this can be dangerous!
Run & get output and result code:
import subprocess
p = subprocess.Popen("[ where is my coffee?", shell=True, stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stderr=subprocess.STDOUT)
proc_lines = p.stdout.readlines() proc_code = p.wait()
print(f"Process return code: {proc_code}") for line in proc_lines: print(line.decode())
|
Run & get only resulting lines only:
import subprocess
proc_lines = subprocess.check_output("[ where is my coffee?; exit 0", shell=True) for line in proc_lines: print(line.decode())
|
Run & get only status code: (output is still printed on screen)
import subprocess
proc_code = subprocess.call("[ where is my coffee?; exit 0", shell=True)
print(f"Process return code: {proc_code}")
