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

You could separate each function into their own bash file. Then use Python to pass the right parameters to each separate bash file.

This may be easier than just re-writing the bash functions in Python yourself.

You can then call these functions using

import subprocess
subprocess.call(['bash', 'function1.sh'])
subprocess.call(['bash', 'function2.sh'])
# etc. etc.

You can use subprocess to pass parameters too.
