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

现有的解决方案不适合我(详情见下文)。最后成功的是使用read(1)实现readline(基于这个答案)。后者不阻塞:

from subprocess import Popen, PIPE
from threading import Thread
def process_output(myprocess): #output-consuming thread
    nextline = None
    buf = ''
    while True:
        #--- extract line using read(1)
        out = myprocess.stdout.read(1)
        if out == '' and myprocess.poll() != None: break
        if out != '':
            buf += out
            if out == '\n':
                nextline = buf
                buf = ''
        if not nextline: continue
        line = nextline
        nextline = None

        #--- do whatever you want with line here
        print 'Line is:', line
    myprocess.stdout.close()

myprocess = Popen('myprogram.exe', stdout=PIPE) #output-producing process
p1 = Thread(target=process_output, args=(myprocess,)) #output-consuming thread
p1.daemon = True
p1.start()

#--- do whatever here and then kill process and thread if needed
if myprocess.poll() == None: #kill process; will automatically stop thread
    myprocess.kill()
    myprocess.wait()
if p1 and p1.is_alive(): #wait for thread to finish
    p1.join()

为什么现有的解决方案不起作用:

Solutions that require readline (including the Queue based ones) always block. It is difficult (impossible?) to kill the thread that executes readline. It only gets killed when the process that created it finishes, but not when the output-producing process is killed. Mixing low-level fcntl with high-level readline calls may not work properly as anonnn has pointed out. Using select.poll() is neat, but doesn't work on Windows according to python docs. Using third-party libraries seems overkill for this task and adds additional dependencies.

其他回答

选择模块帮助您确定下一个有用的输入在哪里。

但是,您几乎总是更喜欢使用单独的线程。一个是阻塞读取stdin,另一个是阻塞你不想阻塞的地方。

在我的例子中,我需要一个日志模块来捕获后台应用程序的输出并对其进行扩充(添加时间戳、颜色等)。

我最终使用了一个后台线程来执行实际的I/O操作。以下代码仅适用于POSIX平台。我去掉了不重要的部分。

如果有人打算长期使用这个野兽,可以考虑管理开放描述符。对我来说,这不是什么大问题。

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

breakStdinRead()

不是第一个,也可能不是最后一个,我已经构建了一个包,它使用两种不同的方法执行非阻塞标准输出PIPE读取,一种是基于J.F. Sebastian (@jfs)的答案,另一种是一个简单的communication()循环,使用线程检查超时。

两种标准输出捕获方法都在Linux和Windows下进行了测试,截至撰写本文时,Python版本从2.7到3.9

由于它是非阻塞的,它保证了超时强制,即使有多个子进程和孙子进程,甚至在Python 2.7下也是如此。

该包还处理字节和文本标准输出编码,当试图捕获EOF时,这是一个噩梦。

您可以在https://github.com/netinvent/command_runner上找到该软件包

如果你需要一些经过良好测试的非阻塞读取实现,可以尝试一下(或修改代码):

pip install command_runner

from command_runner import command_runner

exit_code, output = command_runner('ping 127.0.0.1', timeout=3)
exit_code, output = command_runner('echo hello world, shell=True)
exit_code, output = command_runner('some command', stdout='some_file')

您可以在_poll_process()或_monitor_process()中找到核心的非阻塞读取代码,这取决于所使用的捕获方法。 在此基础上,您可以实现自己想要的功能,或者简单地使用整个包作为子进程替换来执行命令。

这是一个在子进程中执行交互命令的例子,通过伪终端实现了stdout的交互。您可以参考:https://stackoverflow.com/a/43012138/3555925
