How to call a shell script from python code?

by

The subprocess module will help you out.

Blatantly trivial example:

>>> import subprocess
>>> subprocess.call(['sh', './test.sh']) # Thanks @Jim Dennis for suggesting the []
0 
>>>

Where test.sh is a simple shell script and 0 is its return value for this run.
