python subprocess calling bash script - need to print the quotes out too

Question

I\'m having a problem with subprocess and printing quotes.

My Python script takes user input, mashes it around a bit - and I need it to send it\'s results to a bash

Answer 1

That's a list, those are strings in it, so they need quotes:

["myscript.sh", "var=11; ignore all", "/path/to/files"]

That should work. If your script really somehow relies on quotes, then try this (I don't know the details of how subprocess works):

["myscript.sh", "'var=11; ignore all'", "/path/to/files"]
