Running Bash commands in Python

Question

On my local machine, I run a python script which contains this line

bashCommand = \"cwm --rdf test.rdf --ntriples > test.nt\"
os.system(bashCommand)
         


        

Answer 1

It is possible you use the bash program, with the parameter -c for execute the commands:

bashCommand = "cwm --rdf test.rdf --ntriples > test.nt"
output = subprocess.check_output(['bash','-c', bashCommand])
