Certainly! Here are five concise ways to execute a subprocess in Python:

  1. Using the subprocess.run function (Python 3.5 and newer):

    python
    import subprocess
subprocess.run(["command", "arg1", "arg2"])

  2. Using subprocess.Popen:

    python
    import subprocess
process = subprocess.Popen(["command", "arg1", "arg2"])
process.wait()

  3. Using subprocess.call (Python 2 and 3):

    python
    import subprocess
subprocess.call(["command", "arg1", "arg2"])

  4. Using os.system (not recommended for complex commands due to security risks):

    python
    import os
os.system("command arg1 arg2")

  5. Using shlex to parse the command and arguments, and then subprocess.run:

    python
    import subprocess
import shlex
cmd = "command arg1 arg2"
cmd_list = shlex.split(cmd)
subprocess.run(cmd_list)

Make sure to replace "command", "arg1", and "arg2" with the actual command and arguments you want to execute in these examples. Depending on your specific requirements and use case, you may choose the most suitable method.
