Prompt in cmd when using subprocess in python

Question

I have this code:

command = "runas /user:theuser cmd"
subprocess.run(command)

and here cmd asks for password to theuser My question is if I can enter the password here using python?

Answer 1

You should use subprocess.Popen instead. This means you can communicate with the program:

command = "runas /user:theuser cmd"
p = Popen([command], stdout=PIPE, stdin=PIPE, stderr=PIPE)
p.communicate(input='data')[0]
