run Python script in Bash loop

Question

I have a python script, which can only be executed a finite number of times before it throws an error (on the terminal). I need to execute it those many times.

Is it possible to do this using a loop in a Bash script? I know a Bash script can read the output of a command from the terminal, but I have no idea how to go about this.

I tried searching for this problem on this site, but I found nothing. Sorry if this has been asked before.

EDIT

I can modify the Python script to return a value depending whether the execution is successful or not. What I want to know is, how to read this returned value in a loop in a Bash script. If the execution was successful, it must execute the Python script again. If not, it must exit.

If there is any other way, that is welcome, too.

Answer 1

Right on the command line

user@darkstar:~$ for i in `seq 1 100`; do ./run_the_python; done

Replace 100 with your max value, ./run_the_python with whatever is appropriate to launch your python script.
