I have determined variables in the shell script and now I would like to implement these variables for the execution of python script (python script requires variables determined within the shell script).
--------------------------- shell_script.sh--------------------------
# variables a and b are required for execution of my_pythonscript.py
a=hvariable_1
b=variable_2
python my_pythonscript.py a b
many thanks for your help and suggestions in advance
You can pass them to your script as argument variables:
Your shell script:
#!/bin/bash
VARIABLE1='Hello'
VARIABLE2='World'
python example.py $VARIABLE1 $VARIABLE2
Your Python script:
import sys
if len(sys.argv) == 3:
print(sys.argv[1] + ' ' + sys.argv[2] + '!')
The python script prints when run through shell script:
Hello World!
shell_script.sh
A='your variable'
B='another variable'
python my_pythonscript.py "$A" "$B"
my_pythonscript.py
import sys
a = sys.argv[1]
b = sys.argv[2]
Please note: sys.argv[0] is the script name, in your case my_pythonscript.py
Also if you intend to use python 3.6 use python3 my_pythonscript.py a b.
python my_pythonscript.py "$a" "$b".
