Run shell in subprocess.run(cmd_line) using one line cmd string

Question

os.system() invokes a command, the argument can be a single string, e.g,

os.system("cmd -input xx --output yy").

But subprocess, I have to pass a list for args, e.g.,

subprocess.run(["cmd", "-input", "xx", "--output", "yy"]).

For complex arguments, passing a list is trivial. So how to pass a single string to run a command and can also try exceptions?

Thanks.

Answer 1

cmd_string = 'cmd -input xx --output yy'

subprocess.run(cmd_string.split())

Answer 2

you can simply split the command string and pass it to subprocess like bellow:
subprocess.run("your cmd command".split())
