Run a shell command in Python
0
Environment - PyCharm
I am using the below command to get the JSON file:-
aws rds describe-db-cluster-snapshots > snapshotdetails.json
I am using this Json file to extract some data. I want the above command to run from my Python script. I have tried below but its failing:-
from subprocess import call
call(["aws rds describe-db-cluster-snapshots > snapshotdetails.json"])
I am getting error and its not working. Any pointers??
Error:-
Traceback (most recent call last):File "/Users/PrashastKumar/Desktop/CrossRegion/venv/lib/crossregiontrial.py", line 3, in <module>
call(["aws rds describe-db-cluster-snapshots > snapshotdetails.txt"])

A python3 solution:
from subprocess import Popen, PIPE
cmd_output = Popen(["echo", "foo"], stdout=PIPE)
with open('bar.txt', 'w') as out_handle:
out_handle.write(cmd_output.communicate()[0].decode('UTF-8'))
