how to answer automatically to a script in python

Question

i wondering if there is any way to answer automatically a python script, this is the script (i run it with the next command "python manage.py syncdb")

#!/usr/bin/env python
import os
import sys

if __name__ == "__main__":
    os.environ.setdefault("DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE", "pydash.settings")

from django.core.management import execute_from_command_line

execute_from_command_line(sys.argv)

and when I execute it, this is the output:

Would you like to create one now? (yes/no): 
Username (leave blank to use 'root'): 
Email address: 
Password: 
Password (again):

I know bash scripting but I am not good with python, so I am looking for an answer to this question automatically when I run the python script.

For information, this script comes from https://github.com/k3oni/pydash

Since you understand bash scripting, perhaps this bash command line would work for you.

{
    echo yes
    echo bobby-tables
    echo [email protected]
    echo "correct horse battery staple"
    echo "correct horse battery staple"
} | python manage.py syncdb

thanks for the help, but i'm not sure that the command above is correct at all, or yes ?

What happens when you try it?

./script.sh: line 9: syntax error near unexpected token }' ./script.sh: line 9: } | python /var/www/pydash/manage.py syncdb'

Don't include the word "BASH$" in your script. I meant it only to indicate the shell prompt. I'll also delete it from my example.

ok, sorry my bad, it almost works, only i have a issue, it hang when python script ask for email address , the hang is here : You just installed Django's auth system, which means you don't have any superusers defined. Password: Would you like to create one now? (yes/no): Username (leave blank to use 'root'): Email address:
