Im using this code to run some bash commands using Python script: cmd = 'findmnt --kernel /tmp | grep nosuid 2>/dev/null' Sbp = subprocess.call(cmd , shell=True, executable="/bin/bash", text=True) That works fine, but sometimes I need to execute some complex commands like these: grep -Eis "(\\\v|\\\r|\\\m|\\\s|$(grep \'^ID=\' /etc/os-release | cut -d= -f2 | sed -e \'s/\"//g\'))\" /etc/motd 2>/dev/null How can I assign these complex commands to the variable with these spaces and characters? I'm trying to find some PowerShell Here-string or ScriptBlock analog. Example in Powershell: $cmd = @' grep -Eis "(\\\v|\\\r|\\\m|\\\s|$(grep \'^ID=\' /etc/os-release | cut -d= -f2 | sed -e \'s/\"//g\'))\" /etc/motd 2>/dev/null '@ or $ScriptBlock = {grep -Eis "(\\\v|\\\r|\\\m|\\\s|$(grep \'^ID=\' /etc/os-release | cut -d= -f2 | sed -e \'s/\"//g\'))\" /etc/motd 2>/dev/null} What is the best and simple way to understand this with examples in Python?
