I'm implementing a Flask application and I need my app to run shell scripts, is the a way to do that?

I know that we can run shell commands this way :

from flask import Flask
import subprocess

app = Flask(__name__)

@app.route("/")

def hello():
    cmd = ["ls","-l"]
    p = subprocess.Popen(cmd, stdout = subprocess.PIPE,
                            stderr=subprocess.PIPE,
                            stdin=subprocess.PIPE)
    out,err = p.communicate()
    return out
if __name__ == "__main__" :
    app.run()

But when it comes to a whole script how can I do that?

you may need to add "#!/usr/bin/env python" on the top of your python scrip, then you can simply run your scrip by "python "
