How do I process output from the command line into python? [duplicate]

Question

So I found this tool: https://github.com/elceef/dnstwist and I want to pass a list of domains into that tool then take the output and visualize it. It operates through the command line, but how do I automate entering each domain and process the output automatically as well? By the way I am using colab, so I would need a solution using jupyter notebooks!

Thanks!

Thanks for the answer! But how do I pass the output back into python, especially with that banner? — Monlist

The library is written in Python; probably simply import it and call its functions, instead of detouring via the shell. — tripleee

subprocess.Popen() allows you to read the output of the command. — Barmar

Though for simple things you should always prefer subprocess.run() or one of the legacy convenience functions like subprocess.check_output() — tripleee

If you want to do this programmatically I would not use the provided cli – although this would also be possible.

Instead you can create a small python script to do this. Import dwintwist in your script and have a look at the main function in dwintwist.py to see how you call this.

Doesn't look to hard, but I don't know your programming skill level of course.
