WP CLI in Python?

  • I wrote a bash script to run wp cli commands automatically. However I need to run it on a windows server, so I can’t run bash. So I was thinking python.

    Except, I don’t know much about python. Could anyone get me started?

    or, is there a better way? I’ve already asked and my ops teams doesn’t want to install win-bash or any other program to run bash scripts on windows servers.

    The Windows equivalent of bash is the old DOS batch script. Any batch file with a .bat extension that is double clicked should open a command window and execute. Each batch line is executed as though at the command prompt.

    Yeah, I’ve kinda been learning that. Dangers of being a front end guy pushed into having to do more coding work on the backend.

    If I may inquire, in my bash script I was running some php code to set the variables for environments and paths like…

    export WP_DEV_PROJ="site.dev"
export WP_PROD_PROJ="site.com"

if [ "$DM_DEV_BOX" ]; then
  export ACT_PATH="/websites/$WP_DEV_PROJ/"
else
  export ACT_PATH="/var/www/wp/$WP_PROD_PROJ/"
fi

STATUS=$?

unset WP_DEV_PROJ
unset WP_PROD_PROJ

exit $STATUS

    You can see there where I finish up unsetting and setting status after the commands.

    I understand from your comment all I need to do is directly copy the commands to a batch script. But is there a way to do something like I am doing with that PHP?

    Sorry, again this isn’t my forte- I’ve never touched a batch script and I’ve inherited all of these sites.

    Batch files have some primitive scripting abilities, and there are some native commands for setting environment vars, etc. I haven’t worked with batch files in a serious way in decades, so I’m not sure what the equivalent batch code would be. Sorry.

    It’s okay, I appreciate the input regardless. Just super stumped here.

    Perhaps this is of use to you or others

    Just noticed it is an abandoned project so maybe less useful
