My code:

import os

os.system("pip install colorama")

This starts to print the actual command and such, is there a way to execute this without anything being printed. Or even like for example a variable with the response and I can handle it from there? I don't want a massive text, just a simple one saying it was installed etc.

  • You can use `subprocess.Popen()` to run the command like this: `import subprocess subprocess.Popen(["cmd", "/k", "pip install colorama"])` This might also help: `subprocess.Popen(["cmd", "/k", "pip install colorama"], shell=True)` – ZiyadCodes May 19 '22 at 16:15

You could probably redirect the output into /dev/null, so you could do something like the following:

import os

os.system(“pip install colorama > /dev/null 2>&1“)

Note that this would also redirect the errors (because of the 2>&1). If you want to keep errors, you should remove that.

You would probably use echo Off as the first command, then run colorama, then use echo to say whatever final message you want, like this:

import os
os.system("@echo off")
os.system("pip install colorama")
os.system("echo on")
os.system("echo Colorama installed.")
