I am trying to achive following:
I am having a python script which is calling a shell script and passing a parameter as well. Shell script creates a tar.gz file using that parameter passed in some location.
Now shell script should pass the name and location of the tar.gz so created. Python script uses that to form a JSON and pass to some other code.
Along with this I want to add some check to make sure if tar.gz is generated then only value is returned to python otherwise not.
Here is the code:
Python script:
#!/usr/bin/python
import json
import subprocess
json_data='{"name": "StackOverflow", "uid": "8fa36334-ce51"}'
data = json.loads(json_data)
for keys,values in data.items():
print(keys)
print(values)
UID = data.get('uid')
rc = subprocess.check_output(["/home/cyc/Cyc-
Repo/cyc_core/cyc_platform/src/package/cyc_bsc/scripts/test.sh",
UID])
print rc
if rc != 0:
print "failed for passed in uid"
data_op = {}
data_op['pathTOCompressfile'] = 'value_should_be_return_from_shell'
data_op['status'] = 'OK'
json_data_op = json.dumps(data_op)
print json_data_op
shell script:
#!/bin/bash
if [ "$1" != "" ]; then
uid=$1
echo "Positional parameter 1 contains something $1"
else
echo "Positional parameter 1 is empty"
fi
LOG_TMP="tmp_log_file_location"
log_location="log_file_location"
filename="${log_location}/$uid.tar.gz"
echo $filename
tar -zcvf $filename -C $LOG_TMP/dc .
This is what i am not able to understand:
Your shell script writes the name of the generated file to standard output, so your question boils down to how to catch stdandard output of a subprocess started from Python. This has been ansered here . BTW, when asking questions about Python, it would be a good idea to always specify the Python version you are using.
In your case however, I would redesign your shell script a bit:
Your script outputs not only the generated filename, but also messages about the "positional parameter", and this means that you would have to fiddle them apart in your script, whether it is an message or a valid output. You could send the messages to standard error, to keep them apart.
BTW, if there is no positional parameter, the generated file name is just .tar.gz
. Is this really what you want to have? Wouldn't it better to do a exit 1
, if there is no parameter?
