Give response yes/no in python when a command is e

问题:

Consider a command like

yum install boto

When I execute in terminal, to proceed is asks me for yes/no

Can I respond to it in python like

os.system("yum install boto")

Next "Yes" is to be passed to terminal through the same python code so that it installs. Well, I dont think this works. If it is written after tha above statement

os.system("yes")

Please tell me if this is possible?

You can use subprocess.Popen and write to stdin, you need the -S flag for sudo then just the rest of the commands.

from subprocess import Popen, PIPE
import getpass

pwd = getpass.getpass()
proc = Popen(['sudo', '-S', rest of commands ],stdout=PIPE, stdin=PIPE, stderr=PIPE,universal_newlines=True)
proc.stdin.write("{}\n".format(pwd))
out,err = proc.communicate(input="{}\n".format("yes"))

You can add a pipe and do

yes | os.system("yum install boto")

it will repeat yes until the command is done
