I think I found a solution to my problem and thats to use the os module (os.system function). I'm still open to any suggestions you may have.

I'd like to write an app that helps a user install a program on Linux after fetching it from a remote site. The program is packaged as a bin file and when run from bash, the user has to agree to a licence agreement by entering "y" or "n" and enter a path for installation. It seems like I need to find a way for my program to invoke bash so that the user can enter the input required. So far, I've figured out that I can use urllib to fetch the file and the commands module to execute some system commands. Any ideas on how I can envoke bash and pass on the users input to bash.

Thanks for your input.
