How to use the subprocess module In Python

Using psutil module:

We will use the subprocess module to interact with cmd and to retrieve information into your python ide. we can read the cmd command through the subprocess module. It is an inbuilt module in python

Let’s see my logic, if we run this systeminfo code into our terminal then we got like this:

Let’s write python code to get information:

Approach:

import module

Get the output for the command “systeminfo” using subprocess.check_output()

Decode the output with utf-8 split the meta data according to the line

Now get the Split the string and arrange your data with your own needs.

Implementation:

Python3

# import module
import subprocess
 
# traverse the info
Id = subprocess.check_output(['systeminfo']).decode('utf-8').split('\n')
new = []
 
# arrange the string into clear info
for item in Id:
    new.append(str(item.split("\r")[:-1]))
for i in new:
    print(i[2:-2])

Output:
