如何使用bash命令'read -e variable'并将变量传递给python变量

Question

I'd like to pass shell input to a variable in python. Normally I would use the raw_input() method for this, but I'd like to use something which allows me to "browse" through my folders.

In a bash script I'd use something like this: (The -e allows me use the "autocomplete" function of the shell via Tab.)

#!/bin/bash

echo Please input the path to the file:

read -e var

echo $var

Does anyone know how to solve this in Python? I looked at os.popen() and os.system() but cannot figure out how to use them.

Answer 1

The readline module can give you tab completion for raw_input().

You probably want to do something like this .
