python subprocess calling bash script - need to print the quotes out too

Question

I\'m having a problem with subprocess and printing quotes.

My Python script takes user input, mashes it around a bit - and I need it to send it\'s results to a bash

Answer 1

I haven't checked why this works, but it does and without the need for shell=True.

subprocess.Popen(["/bin/bash", "myscript.sh", '""' + string_to_be_quoted + '""', path_to_files])
