I have an executable script, let's call it script.py. I am trying to run a series of commands within the terminal starting with 

python3 ./differentscript.py console

which will allow me to type in additional commands.

However, I was wondering if this can be automated i.e. have my script somehow output and execute the commands?

Edit: I took a look at the links commented below; can someone provide an example of what this would look like?

  • Thanks for the links guys. I am able to output and execute that command line. However, how do I get it to call multiple commands in succession? – noobling Aug 22 '17 at 17:10

If you want to call a few commands at once, you can call it like below:

subprocess.Popen('echo First&echo Second&echo Third', stdout=subprocess.PIPE, shell=True).stdout.read()

It's not a Pythonic solution, but it works.
