[SOLVED] Running DRI_PRIME Command By Using Python Subprocess

Issue

I need to run DRI_PRIME=1 glxinfo command by using Python subprocess also it should not cause shell injection risk.

It gives the following error:

FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'DRI_PRIME=1'

Code:

output = subprocess.check_output(["DRI_PRIME=1", "glxinfo"], shell=False).decode()
print(output)

System: Python3, OS: Linux

Solution

The problem is solved by using the following code:

output = subprocess.check_output(["env", "DRI_PRIME=1", "glxinfo"], shell=False).decode()

A short explanation from manual page of env:

env - run a program in a modified environment
