How to put split terminal command ("ctrl+shift+5") in a python script in vs code in linux?

i'm trying to write a python script which can execute two commands

sudo docker run --network=host --volume /home/villas/results:/villas/build/results --volume /home/villas/Docker-containers/webrtc-rtt.conf:/config.conf --privileged registry.git.rwth-aachen.de/acs/public/villas/node:master node /config.conf

and

sudo docker run --network=host --volume /home/villas/results:/villas/build/results --volume /home/villas/Docker-containers/webrtc-loopback.conf:/config.conf --privileged registry.git.rwth-aachen.de/acs/public/villas/node:master node /config.conf

in two different terminals at the same time. So what the script needs to do is, execute the first command in one terminal, and then create a new parallel terminal and the second command will be execute in second terminal.

To create a split terminal manually, I have to press ctrl+shift+5 But instead I want let my python script to do this job. Is there any way to code this into the python script?

Solution

Try this tasks.json:

{
    "version": "2.0.0",
    "tasks": [
        {
            "label": "Task One",
            "type": "shell",
            "command": "sudo docker run --network=host --volume /home/villas/results:/villas/build/results --volume /home/villas/Docker-containers/webrtc-rtt.conf:/config.conf --privileged registry.git.rwth-aachen.de/acs/public/villas/node:master node /config.conf",
            "presentation": {
                "group": "groupA"
            }
        },
        {
            "label": "Task Two",
            "type": "shell",
            "command": "sudo docker run --network=host --volume /home/villas/results:/villas/build/results --volume /home/villas/Docker-containers/webrtc-loopback.conf:/config.conf --privileged registry.git.rwth-aachen.de/acs/public/villas/node:master node /config.conf",
            "presentation": {
                "group": "groupA"
            }
        },
        {
            "label": "Run Both Tasks",
            "dependsOn": [
                "Task One",
                "Task Two"
            ]
        }
    ]
}

Steps to use :

Create .vscode directory, and inside it create a new file tasks.json containing above content;
On VSCode menu, Select Terminal->Run task->Run Both Tasks
