例如，execute('ls -ahl') 区分三/四种可能的回报和操作系统平台:

没有输出，但运行成功 输出空行，运行成功 运行失败 输出一些东西，成功运行

下面的函数

def execute(cmd, output=True, DEBUG_MODE=False):
"""Executes a bash command.
(cmd, output=True)
output: whether print shell output to screen, only affects screen display, does not affect returned values
return: ...regardless of output=True/False...
        returns shell output as a list with each elment is a line of string (whitespace stripped both sides) from output
        could be 
        [], ie, len()=0 --> no output;    
        [''] --> output empty line;     
        None --> error occured, see below

        if error ocurs, returns None (ie, is None), print out the error message to screen

    def _execute_cmd(cmd):
        if os.name == 'nt' or platform.system() == 'Windows':
            # set stdin, out, err all to PIPE to get results (other than None) after run the Popen() instance
            p = subprocess.Popen(cmd, stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stderr=subprocess.PIPE, shell=True)
        else:
            # Use bash; the default is sh
            p = subprocess.Popen(cmd, stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stderr=subprocess.PIPE, shell=True, executable="/bin/bash")

        # the Popen() instance starts running once instantiated (??)

        # if error occurs, the stdout is '', which means the below loop is essentially skipped

Vartec的答案不读取所有的行，所以我做了一个版本:

def run_command(command):
    p = subprocess.Popen(command,
                         stdout=subprocess.PIPE,
                         stderr=subprocess.STDOUT)
    return iter(p.stdout.readline, b'')

用法与公认的答案相同:

command = 'mysqladmin create test -uroot -pmysqladmin12'.split()
for line in run_command(command):
    print(line)

拆分子进程的初始命令可能非常棘手和麻烦。

使用shlex.split()来帮助自己。

示例命令

Git log -n 5——5年前到2年前

的代码

from subprocess import check_output
from shlex import split

res = check_output(split('git log -n 5 --since "5 years ago" --until "2 year ago"'))
print(res)
>>> b'commit 7696ab087a163e084d6870bb4e5e4d4198bdc61a\nAuthor: Artur Barseghyan...'

如果没有shlex.split()，代码将如下所示

res = check_output([
    'git', 
    'log', 
    '-n', 
    '5', 
    '--since', 
    '5 years ago', 
    '--until', 
    '2 year ago'
])
print(res)
>>> b'commit 7696ab087a163e084d6870bb4e5e4d4198bdc61a\nAuthor: Artur Barseghyan...'

可以将输出重定向到文本文件，然后将其读回来。

import subprocess
import os
import tempfile

def execute_to_file(command):
    """
    This function execute the command
    and pass its output to a tempfile then read it back
    It is usefull for process that deploy child process
    """
    temp_file = tempfile.NamedTemporaryFile(delete=False)
    temp_file.close()
    path = temp_file.name
    command = command + " > " + path
    proc = subprocess.run(command, shell=True, stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stderr=subprocess.PIPE, universal_newlines=True)
    if proc.stderr:
        # if command failed return
        os.unlink(path)
        return
    with open(path, 'r') as f:
        data = f.read()
    os.unlink(path)
    return data

if __name__ == "__main__":
    path = "Somepath"
    command = 'ecls.exe /files ' + path
    print(execute(command))

在Python 3.7+中，使用subprocess.run并传递capture_output=True:

import subprocess
result = subprocess.run(['echo', 'hello', 'world'], capture_output=True)
print(repr(result.stdout))

这将返回字节:

b'hello world\n'

如果你想把字节转换成字符串，添加text=True:

result = subprocess.run(['echo', 'hello', 'world'], capture_output=True, text=True)
print(repr(result.stdout))

这将读取字节使用您的默认编码:

'hello world\n'

如果你需要手动指定不同的编码，使用encoding="your encoding"而不是text=True:

result = subprocess.run(['echo', 'hello', 'world'], capture_output=True, encoding="utf8")
print(repr(result.stdout))

下面是一个简单而灵活的解决方案，适用于各种操作系统版本，以及Python 2和3，在shell模式下使用IPython:

from IPython.terminal.embed import InteractiveShellEmbed
my_shell = InteractiveShellEmbed()
result = my_shell.getoutput("echo hello world")
print(result)

Out: ['hello world']

它有几个优点

它只需要安装IPython，所以在使用它时，你真的不需要担心特定的Python或操作系统版本，它附带Jupyter -具有广泛的支持 它默认接受一个简单的字符串-所以不需要使用shell模式参数或字符串拆分，使它在我看来稍微干净一些 它还使替换变量甚至字符串本身的整个Python命令更加干净

为了演示:

var = "hello world "
result = my_shell.getoutput("echo {var*2}")
print(result)

Out: ['hello world hello world']

只是想给你一个额外的选择，特别是如果你已经安装了Jupyter

当然，如果你在一个实际的Jupyter笔记本，而不是一个.py脚本，你也可以总是这样做:

result = !echo hello world
print(result)

为了达到同样的目的。
