python - put a virtual fite to child process

103 views Asked by At

I want to run a child process with subprocess.Popen and the application reads a config file.

The application connects to a database. Before I run the application I create an ssh tunnel and overwrite his config file to connect to the tunnel. (I run /path/to/application/app.exe and the application config is /path/to/application/app.ini) But I dont want the user be able to read the config file. (user and password to the database)

Can I run the child process in a "sandbox" that when it wants to read the /path/to/application/app.ini the parrent process will put an own virtual config file?
