Complex workflows rarely involve just MATLAB or Python in isolation. Other applications, whether custom in-house tools, commercial simulation and modeling packages, or open source tools, play important roles in the grander scheme of things. In this chapter, we’ll see how Python programs can interact with the underlying operating system and other executables. We’ll read and change environment variables, call other programs and capture their output, monitor the host computer’s ...
