I am trying to execute shell script from the Python program. And instead of using subprocess.call, I am using subprocess.Popen as I want to see the output of the shell script and error if any while executing the shell script in a variable.
#!/usr/bin/python
import subprocess
import json
import socket
import os
jsonStr = '{"script":"#!/bin/bash\\necho Hello world\\n"}'
j = json.loads(jsonStr)
shell_script = j['script']
print shell_script
print "start"
proc = subprocess.Popen(shell_script, stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stderr=subprocess.PIPE)
(stdout, stderr) = proc.communicate()
if stderr:
print "Shell script gave some error"
print stderr
else:
print stdout
print "end" # Shell script ran fine.
But the above code whenever I am running, I am always getting error like this -
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "hello.py", line 29, in
proc = subprocess.Popen(shell_script, stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stderr=subprocess.PIPE)
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/subprocess.py", line 711, in __init__
errread, errwrite)
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/subprocess.py", line 1308, in _execute_child
raise child_exception
OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory
Any idea what wrong I am doing here?

To execute an arbitrary shell script given as a string, just add shell=True parameter.
#!/usr/bin/env python
from subprocess import call
from textwrap import dedent
call(dedent("""\
#!/bin/bash
echo Hello world
"""), shell=True)
