I would like to run a python command that return true
or false
inside a bash script:
#!/usr/bin/env bash Some stuff... boolean = $(python -c "bool(...operations...)")
The code above is just to sketch the idea. I need boolean to be false
or true
(bash boolean values) depending on the result of ...operations...
. The code above is not working: boolean
results to be an empty variable.

Answer
bool=$(python -c 'print(bool("abc"))')
works as expected.
Note that this will return True
or False
not true
or false
(i.e., capitalized).
