[python] How can I get terminal output in python?

I can execute a terminal command using os.system() but I want to capture the output of this command. How can I do this?

You can use Popen in subprocess as they suggest.

with os, which is not recomment, it's like below:

import os
a  = os.popen('pwd').readlines()

The easiest way is to use the library commands

import commands
print commands.getstatusoutput('echo "test" | wc')

The recommended way in Python 3.5 and above is to use subprocess.run():

from subprocess import run
output = run("pwd", capture_output=True).stdout
