我使用subprocess模块启动子流程并连接到其输出流(标准输出)。我希望能够对其标准输出执行非阻塞读取。是否有一种方法使.readline非阻塞或在我调用.readline之前检查流上是否有数据?我希望这是可移植的,或者至少可以在Windows和Linux下工作。

下面是我现在怎么做的(如果没有数据可用,它会阻塞在.readline上):

p = subprocess.Popen('myprogram.exe', stdout = subprocess.PIPE)
output_str = p.stdout.readline()

当前回答

根据J.F. Sebastian的答案和其他几个来源,我组合了一个简单的子流程管理器。它提供了请求的非阻塞读取,以及并行运行几个进程。它不使用任何特定于操作系统的调用(我知道),因此应该在任何地方工作。

它可以从pypi获得,所以只需pip安装shelljob。参考项目页面的示例和完整的文档。

I have often had a similar problem; Python programs I write frequently need to have the ability to execute some primary functionality while simultaneously accepting user input from the command line (stdin). Simply putting the user input handling functionality in another thread doesn't solve the problem because readline() blocks and has no timeout. If the primary functionality is complete and there is no longer any need to wait for further user input I typically want my program to exit, but it can't because readline() is still blocking in the other thread waiting for a line. A solution I have found to this problem is to make stdin a non-blocking file using the fcntl module:

import fcntl
import os
import sys

# make stdin a non-blocking file
fd = sys.stdin.fileno()
fl = fcntl.fcntl(fd, fcntl.F_GETFL)
fcntl.fcntl(fd, fcntl.F_SETFL, fl | os.O_NONBLOCK)

# user input handling thread
while mainThreadIsRunning:
      try: input = sys.stdin.readline()
      except: continue
      handleInput(input)

在我看来,这比使用select或signal模块来解决这个问题要简洁一些,但它只适用于UNIX…

我的问题有点不同,因为我想从正在运行的进程中收集stdout和stderr,但最终是一样的,因为我想在小部件生成时在小部件中呈现输出。

我不希望使用队列或额外的线程来解决许多建议的解决方案,因为执行运行另一个脚本并收集其输出这样的常见任务应该不需要它们。

在阅读了建议的解决方案和python文档后,我解决了以下实现的问题。是的,它只适用于POSIX,因为我正在使用select函数调用。

我同意,对于这样一个常见的脚本任务,文档是令人困惑的,实现是尴尬的。我相信旧版本的python对Popen有不同的默认值和不同的解释,所以造成了很多困惑。这似乎对Python 2.7.12和3.5.2都很有效。

关键是将bufsize=1设置为行缓冲,然后universal_newlines=True处理为文本文件而不是二进制文件,这似乎成为设置bufsize=1时的默认值。

class workerThread(QThread):
   def __init__(self, cmd):
      QThread.__init__(self)
      self.cmd = cmd
      self.result = None           ## return code
      self.error = None            ## flag indicates an error
      self.errorstr = ""           ## info message about the error

   def __del__(self):
      self.wait()
      DEBUG("Thread removed")

   def run(self):
      cmd_list = self.cmd.split(" ")   
      try:
         cmd = subprocess.Popen(cmd_list, bufsize=1, stdin=None
                                        , universal_newlines=True
                                        , stderr=subprocess.PIPE
                                        , stdout=subprocess.PIPE)
      except OSError:
         self.error = 1
         self.errorstr = "Failed to execute " + self.cmd
         ERROR(self.errorstr)
      finally:
         VERBOSE("task started...")
      import select
      while True:
         try:
            r,w,x = select.select([cmd.stdout, cmd.stderr],[],[])
            if cmd.stderr in r:
               line = cmd.stderr.readline()
               if line != "":
                  line = line.strip()
                  self.emit(SIGNAL("update_error(QString)"), line)
            if cmd.stdout in r:
               line = cmd.stdout.readline()
               if line == "":
                  break
               line = line.strip()
               self.emit(SIGNAL("update_output(QString)"), line)
         except IOError:
            pass
      cmd.wait()
      self.result = cmd.returncode
      if self.result < 0:
         self.error = 1
         self.errorstr = "Task terminated by signal " + str(self.result)
         ERROR(self.errorstr)
         return
      if self.result:
         self.error = 1
         self.errorstr = "exit code " + str(self.result)
         ERROR(self.errorstr)
         return
      return

ERROR, DEBUG和VERBOSE仅仅是将输出打印到终端的宏。

这个解决方案在我看来是99.99%有效的,因为它仍然使用了阻塞readline函数,所以我们假设子进程很好,输出完整的行。

我欢迎反馈,以改进解决方案,因为我仍然是Python新手。

编辑:这个实现仍然会阻塞。请用j·f·塞巴斯蒂安的答案。

我尝试了上面的答案,但是线程代码的额外风险和维护令人担忧。

通过io模块(仅限于2.6),我找到了BufferedReader。这是我的无线程、无阻塞的解决方案。

import io
from subprocess import PIPE, Popen

p = Popen(['myprogram.exe'], stdout=PIPE)

SLEEP_DELAY = 0.001

# Create an io.BufferedReader on the file descriptor for stdout
with io.open(p.stdout.fileno(), 'rb', closefd=False) as buffer:
  while p.poll() == None:
      time.sleep(SLEEP_DELAY)
      while '\n' in bufferedStdout.peek(bufferedStdout.buffer_size):
          line = buffer.readline()
          # do stuff with the line

  # Handle any remaining output after the process has ended
  while buffer.peek():
    line = buffer.readline()
    # do stuff with the line

I also faced the problem described by Jesse and solved it by using "select" as Bradley, Andy and others did but in a blocking mode to avoid a busy loop. It uses a dummy Pipe as a fake stdin. The select blocks and wait for either stdin or the pipe to be ready. When a key is pressed stdin unblocks the select and the key value can be retrieved with read(1). When a different thread writes to the pipe then the pipe unblocks the select and it can be taken as an indication that the need for stdin is over. Here is some reference code:

import sys
import os
from select import select

# -------------------------------------------------------------------------    
# Set the pipe (fake stdin) to simulate a final key stroke
# which will unblock the select statement
readEnd, writeEnd = os.pipe()
readFile = os.fdopen(readEnd)
writeFile = os.fdopen(writeEnd, "w")

# -------------------------------------------------------------------------
def getKey():

    # Wait for stdin or pipe (fake stdin) to be ready
    dr,dw,de = select([sys.__stdin__, readFile], [], [])

    # If stdin is the one ready then read it and return value
    if sys.__stdin__ in dr:
        return sys.__stdin__.read(1)   # For Windows use ----> getch() from module msvcrt

    # Must finish
    else:
        return None

# -------------------------------------------------------------------------
def breakStdinRead():
    writeFile.write(' ')
    writeFile.flush()

# -------------------------------------------------------------------------
# MAIN CODE

# Get key stroke
key = getKey()

# Keyboard input
if key:
    # ... do your stuff with the key value

# Faked keystroke
else:
    # ... use of stdin finished

# -------------------------------------------------------------------------
# OTHER THREAD CODE
