I have class for decrypting passwords like below:

class Decrypt:
    def __init__(self, password):
    self.password = password

    def decrypt_file(self):
        command = "perl -e \'require \"Utilities.pm\";  print my $pass = Utilities::Decrypt(\"E\", \"{}\")\';".format(self.password)
        process = subprocess.Popen(command, stdout=subprocess.PIPE, shell=True)
        output, error = process.communicate()
        return output

Would anybody help me with how correct exception handling for subprocess look like in this case?

What sort of exception are you trying to deal with? – TookieWookie May 20 '20 at 08:58
@TookieWookie I would need something general, catching stderr might be fine – JanFi86 May 20 '20 at 09:01
