Running the jar file in a python script?

[mattcutini]

Is there a recommended way to run the synthea jar file within a python script? I'm trying to use subprocess.call() but it appears to not accept the flags that I'm trying to add.

Have you tried the os.system package ?

Try to run it by the following way? This is what i mean :
At the start of your python script write this :

import os

And when you want to run your jar file, call os.system like this :

os.system('cmd /c "jar -jar file.jar"')

Try it and send me the output if it doesn't work.

If you want just open the jar file and not run it, do this :

os.system('cmd /c "jar xf file.jar"')

I was able to get this to run:

os.system("java -jar synthea-with-dependencies.jar -p 100")

Thank you for your help!
