Pass Ipython / Jupyter variables to Powershell commands
To pass IPython/Jupyter variables to PowerShell commands, you can use the !
operator to execute PowerShell commands in a Jupyter notebook cell. Here's an example:
python# Define a variable in Python
myvar = "hello world"
# Pass the variable to a PowerShell command
!powershell.exe Write-Host {myvar}
In this example, we define a Python variable myvar
and set it to "hello world"
. We then use the !
operator to execute a PowerShell command that calls the Write-Host
cmdlet with the value of the myvar
variable. Note that we use curly braces {}
to embed the value of the myvar
variable in the PowerShell command.
You can also use the subprocess
module in Python to run PowerShell commands and pass variables. Here's an example:
pythonimport subprocess
# Define a variable in Python
myvar = "hello world"
# Pass the variable to a PowerShell command using subprocess
subprocess.run(['powershell.exe', 'Write-Host {}'.format(myvar)])
In this example, we use the subprocess
module to run a PowerShell command that calls the Write-Host
cmdlet with the value of the myvar
variable. We pass the PowerShell command as a list of arguments to the subprocess.run()
function, and use string formatting to embed the value of the myvar
variable in the command.
By following these examples, you should be able to pass IPython/Jupyter variables to PowerShell commands in your code.
