How to run an interactive python script inside a shell script?

Question

I need to call a python tool (buttons.py), inside my shell script (emailsend.sh). The tricky part is this python tool is written in interacive mode. This is how I manually trigger tool button.py:

./button.py (which put users in the screen interactive console, and on it, I need to type the following:)

>>> tsr()
>>> tl()  
>>> activate(355)

Is there a way to embed all that inside my emailsend.sh script?

if the python script is not too long, upload it here, and you will be better helped. — oz123

Try this:

tsr()
tl()
activate(355)
EOF
