Is there a way to assign the terminal output to a varibale then print it to the screen, using os.popen()

For example:

import os output = os.popen("dir") print(output)

Is this possible?

  • Do you have to assign it to a variable or just printing it on screen is enough? Commented Dec 30, 2020 at 10:42

Yes it is possible but you should do it like this:

import os output = os.popen("dir") preprocessed = output.read() print(preprocessed)
