Normally you would do this by redirecting standard input. What operating
system are you using? In Linux, you would do something like:
# run script foo.py taking input from the output of bar.py
foo.py < bar.py
Actually, no, that will send the *source code* of bar.py as the input to
foo.py. I think you mean:
bar.py | foo.py
which also should work in DOS as well (although less efficiently).
However, I don't know if this will actually work for raw_input. It may
not. Try it and see.
It should.
Perhaps a better way is to have your program accept a user name and
password on the command line, and only prompt for them if not given.
Then you can say:
foo.py --user=fred --password="y8Mr3@hzi"
This is one way. Another would be to use the subprocess module in
Python which will let one program invoke another program, and have a
file-like object on which it can write data, which the child program
will see as its standard input (and read in to raw_input).
