Embed bash in python

问题

I am writting a Python script and I am running out of time. I need to do some things that I know pretty well in bash, so I just wonder how can I embed some bash lines into a Python script.

Thanks

回答1:

If you want to call system commands, use the subprocess module.

The ideal way to do it:

def run_script(script, stdin=None):
    """Returns (stdout, stderr), raises error on non-zero return code"""
    import subprocess
    # Note: by using a list here (['bash', ...]) you avoid quoting issues, as the 
    # arguments are passed in exactly this order (spaces, quotes, and newlines won't
    # cause problems):
    proc = subprocess.Popen(['bash', '-c', script],
        stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stderr=subprocess.PIPE,
        stdin=subprocess.PIPE)
    stdout, stderr = proc.communicate()
    if proc.returncode:
        raise ScriptException(proc.returncode, stdout, stderr, script)
    return stdout, stderr

class ScriptException(Exception):
    def __init__(self, returncode, stdout, stderr, script):
        self.returncode = returncode
        self.stdout = stdout
        self.stderr = stderr
        Exception.__init__('Error in script')

You might also add a nice __str__ method to ScriptException (you are sure to need it to debug your scripts) -- but I leave that to the reader.

If you don't use stdout=subprocess.PIPE etc then the script will be attached directly to the console. This is really handy if you have, for instance, a password prompt from ssh. So you might want to add flags to control whether you want to capture stdout, stderr, and stdin.

Is

import os
os.system ("bash -c 'echo $0'")

going to do it for you?

EDIT: regarding readability

Yes, of course, you can have it more readable

import os
script = """
echo $0
ls -l
echo done
"""
os.system("bash -c '%s'" % script)

EDIT2: regarding macros, no python does not go so far as far as i know, but between

import os
def sh(script):
    os.system("bash -c '%s'" % script)

sh("echo $0")
sh("ls -l")
sh("echo done")

and previous example, you basically get what you want (but you have to allow for a bit of dialectical limitations)

回答4:

Assuming the command is supported by the host system:

import os
os.system('command')

If you have a long command, or a set of commands. you can use variables. eg:

# this simple line will capture column five of file.log
# and then removed blanklines, and gives output in filtered_content.txt.

import os

filter = "cat file.log | awk '{print $5}'| sed '/^$/d' > filtered_content.txt"

os.system(filter)

subprocess and os.system() works fine when bash commands are simple and does not have brackets, commas and quotes. Simple way to embed complex bash argument is to add bash script at the end of python script with a unique string comments and use simple os.system() commands to tail and convert to bash file.

#!/usr/bin/python
## name this file  "file.py"
import os
def get_xred(xx,yy,zz):
    xred=[]
####gaur###
    xred.append([     zz[9] ,  zz[19] ,  zz[29]     ])
    xred.append([     zz[9] ,  xx[9]  ,  yy[9]      ])
    xred.append([     zz[10],  zz[20] ,  zz[30]     ])
    xred.append([     zz[10],  xx[10] ,  yy[10]     ])
###nitai###
    xred=np.array(xred)
    return xred
## following 3 lines executes last 6 lines of this file.
os.system("tail -n 6 file.py >tmpfile1")
os.system("sed 's/###123//g' tmpfile1>tmpfile2")
os.system("bash tmpfile2")
###### Here ###123 is a unique string to be removed
###123#!/bin/sh
###123awk '/###gaur/{flag=1;next}/###nitai/{flag=0} flag{print}' file.py >tmp1
###123cat tmp1 | awk '{gsub("xred.append\\(\\[","");gsub("\\]\\)","");print}' >tmp2
###123awk 'NF >0' tmp2 > tmp3
###123sed '$d' tmp3 |sed '$d' | sed '$d' >rotation ; rm tmp*

As aforementioned, you could use os.system(); it's quick and dirty, bu it's easy to use and works for most cases. It's literally a mapping on to the C system() function.

I created Sultan to address exactly what you're trying to do. It doesn't have any external dependencies, and tries to be as light as possible and provides a Pythonic interface to Bash.

There is also the commands module to give more control over the output: https://docs.python.org/2/library/commands.html
