Is it possible to run a String text?
Example:
str = "print(2+4)"
Something(str)
Output:
6
Basically turning a string into code, and then running it.

Use exec as it can dynamically execute code of python programs.
strr = "print(2+4)"
exec(strr)
>> 6
I will not recommend you to use exec because:
When you give your users the liberty to execute any piece of code with the Python exec() function, you give them a way to bend the rules.
What if you have access to the os module in your session and they borrow a command from that to run? Say you have imported os in your code.

Sure is, looks like your "Something" should be exec.
str = "print(2+4)"
exec(str)

How to call dynamicly string operations in Python? [duplicate]

How do I execute a string containing Python code in Python?

Closed last month.
//func_to_exec parameter is coming from database dynamically.
func_to_exec='split("\|")[0].split(",")[1]'
pl='mancity,manunited,arsenal|2|3|4|5'
is there anyway to call
pl.func_to_exec
I saw exec and eval functions are only for integers. I cant find any solution for strings.
Thx for suggestions.
You can use the exec function for that:
pl = 'mancity,manunited,arsenal|2|3|4|5'
func_to_exec = 'split("\|")[0].split(",")[1]'
exec(f'result = pl.{func_to_exec}')
print(result) # Output: 'manunited'

I am trying to load Data frame into file but not able to get exact match. Can you please help me on this?
example:
"From...............\"dawood\"...........\"oral use\"........"
but i am getting:
"From................\"dawood\"...........\\"oral use\\\"......"
i am using below code to write the dataframe:
df.repartition(1).write.format('com.databricks.spark.csv').mode('overwrite').save(output_path,quote='"', sep='|',header='True',nullValue=None)
Can you please help me how to get exact match for all the reords.
either just copy this inside your shell script:
python imed_consump.py 'Smart Source'
but then your parameter is always fixed. should this not be desired, then do following inside shell
python imed_consump.py "$1"
and execute your shell like:
bash imed_consump.sh 'Smart Source'

How to read a line in the terminal with python [duplicate]

Capture stdout from a script?

Closed 3 years ago.
I'm trying to get a already written line in python 3, but I haven't found any function that can read a line from the terminal. It should work something like sys.stdout.read(), or sys.stdout.readline() but this function just throws an error.
If you mean to read from the user/a pipe, then simply use input.
However, from your comments it seems like you want to be able to read from what has already been printed.
To do this, you have a few options. If you don't actually want it to display on the terminal, and you only care about certain part of the output, then you can use contextlib.redirect_stdout and contextlib.redirect_stderr. You can combine this with io.StringIO to capture the output of your application to a string. This has been discussed in the question Capture stdout from a script in Python
However, if you want to have something which provides you both a means of printing to the terminal and giving you the lines, then you will need to implement your own type which inherits from io.TextIOBase or uses io.TextIOWrapper.
Do you mean something like this?
name = input("Enter a name: ")
print(name)

Python Gives me empty output [duplicate]

Running python script in terminal, nothing prints or shows up - why?

At first I thought PythonScriptor was the problem, but I tried print('Hello World') and the output was fine.When ever I copy and paste a code it just gives me an empty line. I am currently learning Subroutines in Python, but I completely don't get it.
def myFirstSubroutine():
for i in range(1,3):
print('This is a subroutine')
The code snippet you just showed us defined the function. To execute the function, now you need to call it.
>>> myFirstSubroutine()
This is a subroutine
This is a subroutine
Thanks CoryKramer for his right answer. You need to call the function myFirstSubroutine() to get the output.
Pay attention to that lowercase letter variable is not equal to capital letter variable in Python. That means you need to use exact the function name myFirstSubroutine().
As well as 'I copied what you gave me , it doesn't work.', it can work if you really copy it instead of spelling the 'myfirstsubroutine' by yourself.

use os.system('MyCommand') in the next command [duplicate]

Equivalent of Bash Backticks in Python [duplicate]

As far as you know, we can use OS console commands, (For example dir,time and format in Windows) in Python programing using os.system('TheCommand') module. But this function return the state of Operation (0 for successful and 1 for failed).
I want to know if is there any way to use the output of the commands in the next commands? I mean (For example) I run os.system('dir') and save the list of directories in a variable!
This is fairly easy to do. Here I define the working directory and the edit time of a file as variables which I used later in my script.
#!/usr/bin/env python
PWD = os.getcwd()
edit_time=os.path.getmtime(file.txt)
