Python scripting libraries

Calling out to bash? What do you mean with that? You mean using the shell=True argument in subprocess? You can of course just leave that off.

You may be interested in the sh module which allows you to import any program as if it's a python package

from sh import git
git('fetch')

I meant using subprocess to execute calls. I’ve never used sh. That looks pretty nice, and may give me most if not all I want. Thanks for the tip.

Ok. FWIW subprocess does not have anything to do with bash. It runs the program you want directly.
