Hi there, how are you?
I’d like to know if there’s any possibility of running simple commands inside
Cygwin through Python code.
If yes, could you provide some examples?
This will happen automatically if you use Cygwin's python.
If you don't, then you have to run a program (for example, ls)
by giving the path to the executable - on my system that is:
C:\cygwin64\bin\ls.exe
Any argument will need to be in a form that the Cygwin program
expects. For example. to ls my Cygwin home directory, I could
do:
C:\cygwin64\bin\ls.exe /home/moss
I could also do:
C:\cygwin64\bin\ls.exe /cygdrive/c/cygwin64/home/moss
You could also go through two steps, using the cygpath program to
convert paths to the desired form for a Cygwin program to obtain
a Cygwin form name to pass to a Cygwin program.
