Execute curl command within a Python script

Question

I am trying to execute a curl command within a python script.

If I do it in the terminal, it looks like this:

curl -X POST -d  \'{\"nw_src\": \"10.0.         


        

Answer 1

Rephrasing one of the answers in this post, instead of using cmd.split(). Try to use:

import shlex

args = shlex.split(cmd)

Then feed args to subprocess.Popen.
