How to Read And Execute the commands from a shell script in python

Python provides several modules to interact with the operating system, and one powerful way to do so is by executing shell commands. In this tutorial, we will explore how to read and execute commands from a shell script in Python. We will use the subprocess module, which allows you to spawn new processes, connect to their input/output/error pipes, and obtain their return codes.
Make sure you have Python installed on your system. This tutorial assumes a basic understanding of Python programming.
Before executing the commands, you need to read the contents of the shell script. You can use Python's built-in file handling for this purpose.
You can check the returncode to determine if the script executed successfully. If it's zero, the script ran without errors. Otherwise, you can inspect the stderr attribute for error details.
Save your Python script and run it using the following command:
Congratulations! You've learned how to read and execute commands from a shell script in Python. This can be particularly useful when you need to automate system tasks or integrate with existing shell scripts in your Python projects.
