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()

I am trying to run something inside a Python file, and i do not want to see in the Python console the run output:
os.system("cd ../programs/{0} && ./run".format(project))
How can I do it? I tried with subprocess.call() but it does not compile.
Redirecting stdout to /dev/null:
import subprocess
subprocess.call(['./run'],
cwd=os.path.join('..', 'programs', project),
stdout=subprocess.DEVNULL)

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

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'm trying to have it so that it starts a subprocess, I don't care about the output, but I want to be able to kill it at any time.
