Using greater than operator with subprocess.call

Question

What I am trying to do is pretty simple. I want to call the following command using python\'s subprocess module.

cat /path/to/file_A > file_B         


        

Answer 1

Addition to Martijn's answer:

you can do the same thing as cat yourself:

with open("/path/to/file_A") as file_A:
    a_content = file_A.read()
with open("file_B", "w") as file_B:
    file_B.write(a_content)
