How to call a shell script function/variable from python?

Question

Is there any way to call a shell script and use the functions/variable defined in the script from python?

The script is unix_shell.sh

#!/bin/bash
fun         


        

Answer 1

Yes, in a similar way to how you would call it from another bash script:

import subprocess
subprocess.check_output(['bash', '-c', 'source unix_shell.sh && foo'])
