BashProcess#

class langchain_experimental.llm_bash.bash.BashProcess(strip_newlines: bool = False, return_err_output: bool = False, persistent: bool = False)[source]#

Wrapper for starting subprocesses.

Uses the python built-in subprocesses.run() Persistent processes are not available on Windows systems, as pexpect makes use of Unix pseudoterminals (ptys). MacOS and Linux are okay.
