Is there a way I can run a Python3 script while I open xterm?
What I want to do:
I want to create a ToDo list, which runs on startup of xterm (should be able to use ArgParse)
OS
I use gentoo = a unix/linux distro --> gnome3(X.org)
My research
I didn't find any solution, there were only results, where people wanted to start the Python interactive mode and not a solution to my problem (the way around)
You can try to use an alias, that is modify your .bashrc and add the next line:
my_alias='xterm -e /path/to/script/ /path/to/todo_script'
Where script file is the following script:
#!/bin/sh
"$@"
exec "$SHELL"
And todo_script is the script that you want to execute. For example, if todo_script contains
#!/bin/sh
echo "Hello World"
If you execute my_alias, it will show Hello World in a new xterm terminal.
