Run multiple new terminals from terminal

I tried to find solution but I don't know how to do it. I want to start terminal on raspberry pi x times, to run python scripts in paralel.

I tried gnome-terminal or xterm but nothing did what I wanted or wrote command not found.

This cmd:

#!/bin/bashint
for word in $(cat inputs.txt); do python3 enttest.py $word; done

This command gets every line from inputs.txt file and passes it as parameter to a python script which runs for x hours (one line, one parameter). I need it to start x terminal based on how many lines there is in the inputs.txt file. I want this automatic because the inputs will be generated/dynamic. The script is very simple and I manually started 12 terminals which worked fine on slow raspberry. Input file can look like this:

input1
input2

No crazy stuff with the inputs like space or special character. I will have more parameters in future in the input files but those can be separated by delimiter. Thanks.

Solution

You can do that without starting new terminals. If you do this:

#!/bin/bashint
for word in $(cat inputs.txt)
    do python3 enttest.py "$word" &
done

bash will execute the scripts in parrallel (it will create a new process for each call), due to the single ampersand (&) after the command.

So the program should execute rather quickly, and then the python3 enttest.py tasks will work in the background.
