Configuring databricks-connect using python OS module

I want to configure databricks-connect configure through python OS module after installing databricks-connect through os.system("pip install databricks-connect==6.5")

Once databricks-connect is successfully install we need to configure it by passing the following values:

host= "https://<location>.azuredatabricks.net",
port= "8787",
token = "<Token>",
cluster_id = "<ClusterId>",
org_id = "<OrgId>"

In the terminal if we type databricks-connect configure , it will start asking you above parameter one by one as shown in the figure:

enter image description here

Now I want same thing to be run using python os.system

os.system("pip install databricks-connect")
os.system("databricks-connect configure")

After this how to pass host, port, token etc.?
After every value we have to press enter as well.

when I run this on terminal this work fine ,

echo -e 'https://adb-661130381327abc.11.azuredatabricks.net\nxxxxx\n0529-yyyy-twins608\n6611303813275431\n15001' | databricks-connect configure

but giving me error when i try to run this python os.module

os.sytem("echo -e 'https://adb-661130381327abc.11.azuredatabricks.net\nxxxxx\n0529-yyyy-twins608\n6611303813275431\n15001' | databricks-connect configure")

Error "New host value must start with https://, e.g., https://demo.cloud.databricks.com")

Solution

  • A small modification to @Anmol

    import subprocess

host= "https://<location>.azuredatabricks.net"
port= "8787"
token = "<Token>"
cluster_id = "<ClusterId>"
org_id = "<OrgId>"

stdin_list = [host, port, token, cluster_id, org_id]
stdin_string = '\n'.join(stdin_list)
echo = subprocess.Popen((['echo', '-e', stdin_string]), stdout=subprocess.PIPE)
# fix typo from std_out to stdout
output = subprocess.check_output(('databricks-connect', 'configure'), stdin=echo.stdout)
echo.wait()
print(output.decode())

    echo -e

    takes care of the enter
