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()
You can do this really easily in Twisted. Depending upon your existing code base, this might not be that easy to use, but if you are building a twisted application, then things like this become almost trivial. You create a ProcessProtocol class, and override the outReceived() method. Twisted (depending upon the reactor used) is usually just a big select() loop with callbacks installed to handle data from different file descriptors (often network sockets). So the outReceived() method is simply installing a callback for handling data coming from STDOUT. A simple example demonstrating this behavior is as follows:
from twisted.internet import protocol, reactor
class MyProcessProtocol(protocol.ProcessProtocol):
def outReceived(self, data):
print data
proc = MyProcessProtocol()
reactor.spawnProcess(proc, './myprogram', ['./myprogram', 'arg1', 'arg2', 'arg3'])
reactor.run()
Twisted文档在这方面有一些很好的信息。
如果您围绕Twisted构建整个应用程序,它可以与其他进程(本地或远程)进行异步通信,就像这样非常优雅。另一方面,如果您的程序不是构建在Twisted之上,那么这真的不会有多大帮助。希望这能对其他读者有所帮助,即使它不适用于您的特定应用程序。
Fcntl, select, asyncproc在这种情况下不起作用。
不管操作系统如何,读取流而不阻塞的可靠方法是使用Queue.get_nowait():
import sys
from subprocess import PIPE, Popen
from threading import Thread
try:
from queue import Queue, Empty
except ImportError:
from Queue import Queue, Empty # python 2.x
ON_POSIX = 'posix' in sys.builtin_module_names
def enqueue_output(out, queue):
for line in iter(out.readline, b''):
queue.put(line)
out.close()
p = Popen(['myprogram.exe'], stdout=PIPE, bufsize=1, close_fds=ON_POSIX)
q = Queue()
t = Thread(target=enqueue_output, args=(p.stdout, q))
t.daemon = True # thread dies with the program
t.start()
# ... do other things here
# read line without blocking
try: line = q.get_nowait() # or q.get(timeout=.1)
except Empty:
print('no output yet')
else: # got line
# ... do something with line
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.
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()
Python 3.4为异步IO引入了新的临时API——asyncio模块。
该方法类似于@Bryan Ward的twisted-based回答——定义一个协议,一旦数据准备好,就调用它的方法:
#!/usr/bin/env python3
import asyncio
import os
class SubprocessProtocol(asyncio.SubprocessProtocol):
def pipe_data_received(self, fd, data):
if fd == 1: # got stdout data (bytes)
print(data)
def connection_lost(self, exc):
loop.stop() # end loop.run_forever()
if os.name == 'nt':
loop = asyncio.ProactorEventLoop() # for subprocess' pipes on Windows
asyncio.set_event_loop(loop)
else:
loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
try:
loop.run_until_complete(loop.subprocess_exec(SubprocessProtocol,
"myprogram.exe", "arg1", "arg2"))
loop.run_forever()
finally:
loop.close()
请参阅文档中的“Subprocess”。
有一个高级接口asyncio.create_subprocess_exec(),它返回允许使用StreamReader.readline()协程异步读取一行的Process对象
(使用async/await Python 3.5+语法):
#!/usr/bin/env python3.5
import asyncio
import locale
import sys
from asyncio.subprocess import PIPE
from contextlib import closing
async def readline_and_kill(*args):
# start child process
process = await asyncio.create_subprocess_exec(*args, stdout=PIPE)
# read line (sequence of bytes ending with b'\n') asynchronously
async for line in process.stdout:
print("got line:", line.decode(locale.getpreferredencoding(False)))
break
process.kill()
return await process.wait() # wait for the child process to exit
if sys.platform == "win32":
loop = asyncio.ProactorEventLoop()
asyncio.set_event_loop(loop)
else:
loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
with closing(loop):
sys.exit(loop.run_until_complete(readline_and_kill(
"myprogram.exe", "arg1", "arg2")))
Readline_and_kill()执行以下任务:
启动子进程,将其标准输出重定向到管道
异步从子进程的stdout中读取一行
杀子流程
等待它退出
如果需要,每个步骤都可以被超时秒限制。
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
