Calling IDA Pro through python

Question

I am trying to use a python script to call IDA Pro and have it run in bash mode. Similar to that of the linux terminal line './idal -B input-File' is there a quick and simple way I can do this throughout the python script? I have looked through the IDA Pro book and I can only find information on IDAPython which I am struggling to understand.

This is a duplicate.

Checkout this answer.

It's basically resumes to:

from subprocess import call
call(["./idal", "-B", "input-File"])
