Something similar to this: How to make python script press 'enter' when prompted on Shell
Like that question, if I have test_enter.py:
print("press enter...")
input()
print("yay!")
and this file:
from subprocess import Popen, PIPE
p = Popen(['python test_enter.py'], stdin=PIPE, shell=True)
p.communicate(input=b'\n')
But instead of just a new line, I want it to type something then press "enter". Is that possible?
Script to call:
print("write something here")
inserted_string = input()
print("You wrote: " + inserted_string)
Caller script:
from subprocess import Popen, PIPE
import sys
print("custom insert here...")
inserted1 = input()
if len(sys.argv) > 1:
inserted2 = sys.argv[1]
else:
inserted2 = 'nothing here'
p1 = Popen(['python script_to_call.py'], stdin=PIPE, shell=True)
p1.communicate(input=b'standard string\n')
print(" --- ")
p2 = Popen(['python script_to_call.py'], stdin=PIPE, shell=True)
p2.communicate(input=inserted1.encode('utf-8') + b'\n')
print(" --- ")
p3 = Popen(['python script_to_call.py'], stdin=PIPE, shell=True)
p3.communicate(input=inserted2.encode('utf-8') + b'\n')
Run command
python caller.py "string got from parameter"
Output:
custom insert here...
string got from input
write something here
You wrote: standard string
---
write something here
You wrote: string got from input
---
write something here
You wrote: string got from parameter
