I am trying to call a Python script from another. I am using the subprocess-module and calling it like this:

subprocess.call(["python","script.py","parameter_name parameter_value"], shell=False)

The thing is when I call it this way it works fine for a single parameter. When I have multiple parameters I tried running it this way

subprocess.call(["python","script.py","parameter_one_name parameter_one_value", "parameter_two_name parameter_two_value"], shell=False)

This does not work for some reason and the script does not give out any error message as well. So, I tried doing this

os.system("python script.py parameter_one_name parameter_one_value parameter_two_name parameter_two_value)

This works and the script works as expected. The question I have is is it possible to call the script when the parameters are stored in a string? For example,

parameter = parameter_one_name parameter_one_value+parameter_two_name parameter_two_value)

execute script with parameter

I could not find anything so far on SO, so it would be a great help if anyone could help.

If parameters are in a dictionary d:

import sys
import subprocess

params = [x for pair in d.items() if all(pair) for x in pair]
subprocess.check_call([sys.executable, 'script.py'] + params)
