Inside python code, how do I run a .sh script?

Will it continue the code after it's run? Or will it stop at that line until the script is done?

You can use os.system or subprocess.Popen or subprocess.call but when using subprocess methods make sure you use shell=True. And executing it via system call in all these methods is blocking. The python script will complete and then go the next step.

Using subprocess.call is the easiest way. It will not return until the executed program has terminated. Have a look at the other methods of the subprocess module if you need different behaviour.
