piping a file to a python script using exec_run

See original GitHub issue

Using the docker python SDK, I’m trying to pipe output of an echo command to exec_run as follows. container.exec_run(['echo','5','|','python','test.py']) the test.py has following code

s = input()
print(s)

The output that is produced is : b'5 | python test.py\n'

I’m trying to mimic the following vanila linux command echo "5" | python myscript.py
