I am trying to combine a directory of CSV files within a Python script. I have tried using Pandas to achieve this but it seems inefficient as a OS command could achieve the same thing without a library like this...
copy *.csv merged_files.csv
Is there a way to run an OS command like this inside of a Python3 script?
If you don't need to retrive the output of the command to put it in a variable you can simply use:
import os
os.system('your command here')
This will make your script execute a shell command when run.
