How to send Python variable to bash variable?

Question

I am trying to use Python to select a variable from a list, then speak it outloud using the bash command. Right now I have something like this

foo = [\"a\",\"b\"         


        

Answer 1

you are passing astring you can use value of x like

sytem('say {0}'.format(x))

When passing strings you can use string formatting. As you realized you need to get the value of x in the string not the variable x http://docs.python.org/library/string.html#format-examples
