How can I use subprocess in Django?

You can use the subprocess module in Django to spawn new processes, connect to their input/output/error pipes, and obtain their return codes. Would you like a code example?

Yes, please provide a code example.

Sure! Here's a simple example:

import subprocess

def run_command(command):
    result = subprocess.run(command, shell=True, capture_output=True, text=True)
    return result.stdout, result.stderr

# Usage
output, error = run_command('ls -l')
print('Output:', output)
print('Error:', error)

What are the potential security risks of using subprocess?

Using subprocess can expose your application to shell injection attacks if user input is not properly sanitized. Always validate and sanitize inputs.
