How to read python script in a website and run it in terminal ?

Example:

exit()

Script In Terminal :

import requests

r = requests.get(link)
#Now How Run Script From Website ?

Please help me :)

You'd need to `eval` it, but that's an exceedingly bad idea… — deceze, May 15 '20 at 08:05

The exec built-in function might be a way to execute the script with text.

import requests
link = "https://pastebin.com/raw/script"
r = requests.get(link)

#run the script
exec(r.text)

[EDIT] This method is unsafe and not recommanded. See this post: Why should exec() and eval() be avoided?

Now you have the response in your code as r, and you want to first retrieve the text of the response:

response_text = r.text

Optionally, reset the encoding of the response text:

r.encoding = 'utf-8'

Now execute the content of the response with the Python built in exec method:

exec(response_text)
