I want to create a program by python, when the program is run, it show its own command line interface. The user can input a command into the interface, and the program will handle that command. Is there any way to do that in both Windows and Linux environment?
this should work for both linux and windows:
from subprocess import call
while True:
print call(raw_input("command: "), shell = True)

I want to open a cmd and then input data into the command line from python. I plan to call PEST calibration software to open from within python and I want to start by opening a cmd.
I am using Python 2.7 and so subprocess doesn't seem to work. I have tried os.system('cmd') and I can open the prompt but I can't input any data.
import os
os.system('cmd')
You should be able to pass the exact resulting string to os.system(). Ex:
os.system('notepad.exe')
In other words, os.system behaves the same way a console would.

I want to run my python script without the python keyword at the beginning.
Example :
I don't want python script.py.
I want script.py
The problem is that when I run it how I want the script opens in a text editor, and it doesn't run in the console...
Why?
I just had to set the default opening of the file with python.exe,
By default it was with VS Code.

Running a linux command from python
(5 answers)
Closed 8 years ago.
how can I execute the following command in python please
sudo mount --bind /media/networkshare/camera /var/www/media
Technically you could use Python's subprocess module for this (see also this answer):
import subprocess
subprocess.check_call(['sudo', 'mount', '--bind', '/media/networkshare/camera',
'/var/www/media'])
Of course, this will still prompt you for your password. If you don't want it to prompt for a password, then you'll have to setup sudo so that it can execute a single command as root. See the following guide for how to do that:

I wanna to run my own non-system external commands in python.
Such as "sudo insteon on 23". Subprocess and os.system are designed for system calls.
Does anybody know how to do it?
Thanks
You can use subprocess.Popen for this:
import shlex
import subprocess
proc = subprocess.Popen(shlex.split('sudo insteon on 23'))
proc.communicate()
