Can someone help me how to pass variable in commands.getstatusoutput



I am trying to run below program to get information from remote server.



import os
import commands
ServerName = raw_input('Enter the Server name : ')
status, output = commands.getstatusoutput("rosh -l admin -n %ServerName uname")
print output


But when executing the program, ServerName is not getting replaced with hostname which which am entering in the terminal.

  • getstatusoutput accept regular python string objects. So you can use any of the existing string interpolation techniques to place the ServerName to the original string. for eg: "rosh -l admin -n %s uname" % ServerName OR f-strings f"rosh -l admin -n {ServerName} uname" OR the string format function "rosh -l admin -n {}" uname".format(ServerName)

    @AbdulNiyasPM f-strings don't exist before Python 3.6. This code is for Python 2. The commands module doesn't exist in Python 3. That module just provides wrapper functions for os.popen, and it's much better to use the subprocess module than os.popen.
