python subprocess module tutorial

the subprocess module in python allows you to spawn new processes, connect to their input/output/error pipes, and obtain their return codes. it provides a powerful and flexible way to interact with the system and run external commands. in this tutorial, we will explore the basic functionalities of the subprocess module with code examples.
you can also handle input and output streams with subprocess. let's create a python script that reads input from the user, passes it to an external command, and prints the command's output.
this example prompts the user to enter a message, passes the input to the echo command, and prints the command's output.
the subprocess module allows you to capture and handle errors that may occur during command execution. let's modify the previous example to handle errors gracefully.
in this example, we intentionally use a nonexistent command to trigger a calledprocesserror. the check=true parameter raises an exception if the command returns a non-zero exit code, allowing us to handle errors appropriately.
these are just a few basic examples of using the subprocess module in python. the module offers more advanced features, such as working with pipes, subprocess communication, and handling timeouts. explore the official python documentation on subprocess for a comprehensive guide and additional details.
