How To Make a Python Program Automatically Restart Itself

Question

How do you make a python program automatically restart itself? So let\'s say there is a really simple program like:

    var = input(\"Hi! I like cheese! Do y         


        

Answer 1

I use terminal on my Mac to re-start some of my python scripts with the function below.

import subprocess  
def run_again(cmd):
    subprocess.call(["bash", "-c", "source ~/.profile; " + cmd])  

Note: Don't forget the space character after "profile;" or the function may fail silently!

Then at the bottom of my script to be re-started:

if some_condition:  
    run_again("python my_script.py %s" % my_new_arguments)  

For the original question about the cheese script:

if var != 'yes':  
    run_again("python my_cheese_script.py")
