Background: New to python.

I have a high security client. Anything on the O/S must go through a lengthy (nearly impossible in some cases) process to be approved by the IA department.

I want to convert my bash scripts to python2:

  1. I don't want to ask to install python3
  2. I don't want to ask to install cx_Oracle

In bash I could do something like this:

echo "select user from dual;"|${SQLPLUS} > ${TEMPFILE}

Is there a way to do something similar in python2 with the basic tools that are part of RHEL7?

  • python2 will be a security risk in a few months ( github.com/python/devguide/pull/344 ) . Having a high security client and rollout python2 is not the correct way to do Commented Nov 5, 2019 at 14:54
  • @EchoMike444 Interesting. So you think I can make a case for python3? Commented Nov 5, 2019 at 15:05
  • and RHEL 7 is a little too old for my taste ... access.redhat.com/articles/3078#RHEL8 Commented Nov 5, 2019 at 15:11
  • you have already oracle deployed , what is the issue to install cx_oracle ? you must ask your client the full list of sofware you can use ? Commented Nov 5, 2019 at 15:13
  • @EchoMike444 The issue is speed. Rush to get something done vs the months it will take to get it approved. IA will have to go through cx_oracle looking for whatever they look for... EDIT: cx_oracle isn't on the very short list of SW Commented Nov 5, 2019 at 16:41
