Python command in bash does not find -c flag

vegan_vicky

I have two python lines in my bash script, both should run with -c flag, but once I run the Bash script it tells me that it could not find -c flag that is needed for python to run the command in Bash. It does work from command like if I copy the python command to command line it runs the command, but not from inside the script. Error output: mount.sh: 40: mount.sh: -c: not found My script: ## define a function that launched the zenity username...

Great question — answering as the UphillTech team:

Get_wPassword=python -c 'import keyring; keyring.get_password("WinMount", wUsername)' should probably be Get_wPassword=$(python -c 'import keyring; keyring.get_password("WinMount", wUsername)') and if you want wUsername to be given by the shell variable with the same name Get_wPassword=$(python -c "import keyring; keyring.get_password('WinMount', '$wUsername')") (note how the double quotes became single and vice versa)
