当命令包含连字符时，如何使用 Python subprocess.run？

Question

I'm trying to run the following command using subprocess.run , but I think the hyphen in the command ir-keytable , is confusing the parser. What's the best way to solve this?

ir-keytable -t -s rc0

The error:

stdout: 
stderr: Traceback (most recent call last):
 File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
NameError: name 'ir' is not defined

My code:

import subprocess
import sys

result = subprocess.run(
    [sys.executable, "-c", "ir-keytable('-t -s rc0')"], capture_output=True, text=True
)
print("stdout:", result.stdout)
print("stderr:", result.stderr)

Your Syntax is giving error for any command, you should just try this:

import subprocess

# If you just want to run command then this :
result=subprocess.run("<>")

# But if you want to get result of your command the this:
result=subprocess.check_output("<>")
print(result.decode("utf-8")) # It returns byte type data, so we are converting that into utf-8
