Run sqoop in python script -

i'm trying run sqoop command inside python script. had no problem trough shell command, when i'm trying execute python stript:

#!/usr/bin/python sqoopcom="sqoop import --direct --connect abcd --username abc --p --query "queryname" "  exec (sqoopcom) 

i got error, invalid syntax, how solve ?

the build in exec statement you're using interpreting python code inside python program.

what want execute external (shell) command. use call subprocess module

import subprocess subprocess.call(["echo", "hello", "world"])
