Examples

Let's take a look at the python script execvpe.py in /home/bernd/python, which calls our bash script in bin2:

import os

env = {"PATH":"/home/bernd/bin2", "XYZ":"BlaBla"}

args = ("test","abc")

os.execvpe("test.sh", args, env)

We start execvpe.py on the command line and get the following output:

$ ./execvpe.py

/home/bernd/bin2/test.sh, abc

XYZ: BlaBla

PATH: /home/bernd/bin2/

current directory: /home/bernd/python/

$
