I have an application(.exe) written in any language eg. C++ and want to run the application from python. I can run that simple application by using below sample Python code by following tutorial here https://docs.python.org/2/library/subprocess.html
from subprocess import Popen, PIPE
process = Popen([r"C:\Users\...\x64\Debug\Project13.exe"],stdout = PIPE,
stderr=PIPE, stdin = PIPE)
stdout = process.communicate(input = b"Bob")[0]
print(stdout)
C++ code:
#include <iostream>
#include <windows.h>
#include <string>
using namespace std;
void foo(string s) {
for (int i = 0; i < 3; ++i)
{
cout << "Welcome " << s << " ";
Sleep(2000);
}
}
int main()
{
string s;
cin>> s;
foo(s);
return 0;
}
This works fine for me. But what if i am reading input in C++ application multiple times as below:
#include <iostream>
#include <windows.h>
#include <string>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
string s;
for (int i = 0; i < 3; ++i)
{
cin >> s;
cout << "Welcome " << s << " ";
Sleep(2000);
}
return 0;
}
Here i am not able to use process.communicate() multiple times since the child has already exited by the time it returns.Basically i want to interact with the programme as a continuous session. I want suggestion or any other approach to solve this issue in python? Thanks in advance.
