#🔒 Is there a way to execute commands in anaconda prompt via a python script?

I'm aware that the os library allows you to execute commands via the command prompt, but I need to use anaconda prompt, not the regular command prompt. Is there a way of doing that?

Remember to:

  • Ask your Python question, not if you can ask or if there's an expert who can help.
  • Show a code sample as text (rather than a screenshot) and the error message, if you've got one.
  • Explain what you expect to happen and what actually happens.

:warning: Do not pip install anything that isn't related to your question, especially if asked to over DMs.

subprocess.Popen should be able do it, but you will have to find the executable path and may need to set some environment variables and/or command line arguments

so with the anaconda virtual env activated?

shell=True will likely not do what OP wants.

I'm basically trying to make a quick script that will open an environment I made and use the cd command a few times so I don't need to manually do it every time.

uh. that's probably better done with a shell script (.ps1 or so?), instead of python.
