running multiple bash commands with subprocess

by

You have to use shell=True in subprocess and no shlex.split:

import subprocess

command = "echo a; echo b"

ret = subprocess.run(command, capture_output=True, shell=True)

# before Python 3.7:
# ret = subprocess.run(command, stdout=subprocess.PIPE, shell=True)

print(ret.stdout.decode())

returns:

a
b
