I'm working on a python script which takes the output from a previous terminal window command and inputs again. Here is the code
pathCmd = './adb shell pm path com.example.deliveryupdater'
pathData = os.popen(pathCmd,"r")
for line in pathData:
path = line
print line
if line.startswith("package:"):
apkPath = line[8:]
print apkPath
pullCmd = './adb pull ' + apkPath
pullData = os.popen(pullCmd,"r")
The output is as follows: /data/app/com.example.deliveryupdater-1.apk
' does not exist/data/app/com.example.deliveryupdater-1.apk
It says the path doesn't exist. When I hardcoded the path as
pullCmd = './adb pull /data/app/com.example.deliveryupdater-1.apk'
pullData = os.popen(pullCmd,"r")
The .apk data gets pulled.

Is there a way I can pass as the string as a variable? Am I doing anything wrong here? Please help
The error message is telling you what's wrong: that path, /data/app/com.example.deliveryupdater-1.apk(newline), does not exist. Probably there is not a filename ending with a newline in the directory. I assume you are iterating over lines from a file or something of that sort, which would explain why you have the newline. Why not just slice [8:-1] instead of [8:], or perhaps, just .rstrip() on the line (this will work even if the line doesn't have a newline, as the last line in the file might not)?
if line.startswith("package:"):
apkPath = line[8:].rstrip()
print apkPath
pullCmd = './adb pull ' + apkPath
pullData = os.popen(pullCmd,"r")
