You can perform a function of the program/call a system command via Python’s subprocess module.
It offers a convenient way to spawn new processes, connect to their input/output/error pipes, and obtain their return codes.
Here’s an example -
import subprocess
#Replace "your_command_here" with the actual command you want to execute
command = "your_command_here"
#Run the command
try:
result = subprocess.run(command, shell=True, check=True, text=True)
print("Command output:", result.stdout)
except subprocess.CalledProcessError as e:
print("Command failed with error:", e)
However, if you are working with user inputs, consider using the shlex.quote() function to properly escape and quote the arguments.
import shlex
import subprocess
user_input = "user_input_here"
command = f"your_command_here {shlex.quote(user_input)}"
#Rest of the code remains the same
Also, if you want to execute a child program in a new process, use the subprocess.Popen().
import subprocess
subprocess.Popen(["/usr/bin/git", "commit", "-m", "Fixes a bug."])
