Python & macOS: open new Terminal window from Python, passing command to be executed

Question

I am using the following two lines of Python code to open a new Terminal window from a Python script, and this works fine:

import os
os.system('open -a Terminal .')

Now I would like to pass the new Terminal window a command to be executed, for example

ls

How can I do that?

Answer 1

Try this

import appscript

appscript.app('Terminal').do_script('ls')  # or any other command you choose
