I am currently working on a project that writes and executes a shell script based on the input of the user.
if self.ShellInput == "install":
if self.enterdPassword == True:
self.instPack = input(str("Package Name: "))
self.fullInstall = "echo " self.userPassword " | sudo -S apt -y install " self.instPack
with open('install.sh', 'w') as self.installShell:
self.installShell.write(self.fullInstall)
print("SOFTWARE IS NOW READY")
ShellScriptHandeler.OpenShellscript.installSoftware()
And I run the Shell file with this:
def installSoftware(self):
self.shellscript = subprocess.Popen([self.installPath], shell=True, stdin=subprocess.PIPE )
self.shellscript.stdin.write('yes\n'.encode("utf-8"))
self.shellscript.stdin.close()
self.returncode = self.shellscript.wait()
But whenever the code executes the shell script, I get the error message: Text file is busy
CodePudding user response:
All I had to do is close the file before executing it as described in the first comment.
