I have inserted python code inside bash script like this:
#!/bin/bash
echo "You are in Bash"
python <<END
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
import os
import sys
import getpass
print "You are in python"
username=raw_input('Bitbucket Username : ')
END
echo "Python ended"
But the problem is I am not able to take input using raw_input or input when I insert python in bash. Python alone works fine. What is the problem here in my code?
Instead of a heredoc, just user the -c parameter to pass a command:
$ python -c "username = raw_input('Enter name: ')
print 'Hello', username
"
Enter name: Chris
Hello Chris
python -c <<END ?
Once you say END, you are telling bash that your program is over. Bash gives your lines as input to Python. If you are in python, type each line that you wrote there, regardless of what prompt, and when you are done, signify EOF by Ctrl-D on linux, Ctrl-Z on windows. You will see that raw_input() will have a EOFError. That is what bash is doing. It gives Python each line, and then says "We're done. Send EOF". It pays no attention to what prompt is given. It doesn't know that you are asking for input. This is a useful feature, however, because if it didn't have that, there would be nothing telling Python to exit...ever. You would have to send KeyboardInterrupt to get that program to exit.
