How to pass a variable value in exec_command in python?

Question

I have declared a value for a variable command as

command =4
stdin, stdout, stderr = ssh.exec_command("pwd; ./test.sh command")

when i try to run the above command it show the output as

I am command

but it should return as

I am 4

Any syntax missing in the above command?

Thanks in advance

You are passing "command" as the string, but you need to pass its value as a string:

ssh.exec_command("pwd; ./test.sh " + str(command))

I used the above command, Now only pwd is executing bypassing theother commands and the output is as Input:- ssh.exec_command("pwd; ./test.sh" + str(command)) Output:- ['/home/ubuntu\n']

What is in stderr after you execute that?

Thank you john!! This solved the problem. There was no space between those two commands.
