Executing python scripts with subprocess.call using shebang

Question

I\'m writing a (somewhat) modular application in Python 3 and I\'d like to run arbitrary programs from it, said program being specified at runtime and not necessarily a python s

Answer 1

Try

subprocess.call(['spam.py', "-i", eggs, "-o", ham])

Answer 2

You need to use shell=True, and you need your array to be turned into a command string, like this:

subprocess.call(' '.join([spam, "-i", eggs, "-o", ham]), shell=True)

This will invoke the shell instead of the direct command, and the shell should be able to handle the shebang.
