How can i take the output of one python script as user input for another python script

Question

i have written a code (python 2.7) that goes to a website Cricket score and then takes out some data out of it to display just its score .It also periodically repeats and keeps running because the scores keep changing. i have also written a code for taking a message input from user and send that message as an sms to my number .

i want to club these two so that the scores printed on my screen serve as the message input for sending live scores to me.

codes are

sms.py

    import urllib2
    import cookielib
    from getpass import getpass
    import sys
    import os
    from stat import *
    import sched, time
    import requests
    from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
    s = sched.scheduler(time.time, time.sleep)
    from urllib2 import Request
    #from livematch import function

    #this sends the desired input message to my number


    number = raw_input('enter number you want to message:  ')
    message = raw_input('enter text: ' ) 


    #this declares my credentials
    if __name__ == "__main__":    
        username = "9876543210"
        passwd = "abcdefghij"

        message = "+".join(message.split(' '))

     #logging into the sms site
        url ='http://site24.way2sms.com/Login1.action?'
        data = 'username='+username+'&password='+passwd+'&Submit=Sign+in'

     #For cookies

        cj= cookielib.CookieJar()
        opener = urllib2.build_opener(urllib2.HTTPCookieProcessor(cj))

     #Adding header details
        opener.addheaders=[('User-Agent','Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/37.0.2062.120')]
        try:
            usock =opener.open(url, data)
       except IOError:
            print "error"
            #return()

        jession_id =str(cj).split('~')[1].split(' ')[0]
        send_sms_url = 'http://site24.way2sms.com/smstoss.action?'
        send_sms_data = 'ssaction=ss&Token='+jession_id+'&mobile='+number+'&message='+message+'&msgLen=136'
        opener.addheaders=[('Referer', 'http://site25.way2sms.com/sendSMS?Token='+jession_id)]
        try:
            sms_sent_page = opener.open(send_sms_url,send_sms_data)
        except IOError:
            print "error"
            #return()

        print "success" 
        #return ()    

livematch.py

    import sched, time
    import requests
    from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
    s = sched.scheduler(time.time, time.sleep)
    from urllib2 import Request

    url=raw_input('enter the desired score card url here :  ')
    req=Request(url)
    def do_something(sc) : 
        #global x
        r=requests.get(url)
        soup=BeautifulSoup(r.content)
        for i in soup.find_all("div",{"id":"innings_1"}):
          x=i.text.find('Batsman')
          in_1=i.text
          print(in_1[0:x])
        for i in soup.find_all("div",{"id":"innings_2"}):
          x=i.text.find('Batsman')
          in_1=i.text
          print(in_1[0:x])
        for i in soup.find_all("div",{"id":"innings_3"}):
          x=i.text.find('Batsman')
          in_1=i.text
          print(in_1[0:x])
        for i in soup.find_all("div",{"id":"innings_4"}):
          x=i.text.find('Batsman')
          in_1=i.text
          print(in_1[0:x])
        # do your stuff
            #do what ever 
        s.enter(5, 1, do_something, (sc,))

    s.enter(5, 1, do_something, (s,))
    s.run()

note that instead of using 9876543210 as username and abcdefghij as password use the credentials of actual account.

Answer 1

If you want to call a completly independed python script in via your python script take a look at subprocess module. You could use subprocess.call or subprocess.Popen .

Answer 2

It is hard to answer without having a look at your code. But it seems that using piping with subprocess would be an appropriate solution.

See the answer on this post: python subprocess.stdout.readline doesn't
