I have a Python script with a few functions.
Is it possible to launch the script from terminal and then leap straight to a particular function, following conditions within the script? I.e. python3 script.py function.
I was thinking this would be a good alternative to asking the user to answer Y/N to starting functions within script.

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)

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()
