Download the dd file for windows first, http://www.chrysocome.net/dd, after unzip, put the dd.exe into python scripts file, then, it’s works!!

I was try but cann’t find similar module or function, could anyone help me? Thanks!

Below is my code.

def dd_cmd():
   ddfile = open('dd_test.txt','w')
   ddcmd = ["dd", "if=d:/tartest/config-5w20.txt", "of=d:/tartest/config-5w20a.txt", "bs=1", "count=36", "status=progress"] 
   d = subprocess.Popen(ddcmd,stdout=ddfile, stderr=ddfile)
   d.wait()

if __name__ == '__main__':
   dd_cmd()

Answer 1

There isn’t any official dd command for Windows. You can use an alternative.
Download it first, then run your code easily.

Hint

You should put the executable file next to other files of your project
Or
Put the executable file anywhere you want and update Path Environment
