我会推荐下面的“运行”方法,它会帮助我们获得标准输出、标准错误和输出状态作为词典;这个词典的呼叫者可以通过“运行”方法阅读词典返回,以了解过程的实际状态。

  def run (cmd):
       print "+ DEBUG exec({0})".format(cmd)
       p = subprocess.Popen(cmd, stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stderr=subprocess.PIPE, universal_newlines=True, shell=True)
       (out, err) = p.communicate()
       ret        = p.wait()
       out        = filter(None, out.split('\n'))
       err        = filter(None, err.split('\n'))
       ret        = True if ret == 0 else False
       return dict({'output': out, 'error': err, 'status': ret})
  #end

下面是我的两个百分点:在我看来,这是处理外部命令时最好的做法......

这些是执行方法的回报值......

pass, stdout, stderr = execute(["ls","-la"],"/home/user/desktop")

这是执行方法......

def execute(cmdArray,workingDir):

    stdout = ''
    stderr = ''

    try:
        try:
            process = subprocess.Popen(cmdArray,cwd=workingDir, stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stderr=subprocess.PIPE, bufsize=1)
        except OSError:
            return [False, '', 'ERROR : command(' + ' '.join(cmdArray) + ') could not get executed!']

        for line in iter(process.stdout.readline, b''):

            try:
                echoLine = line.decode("utf-8")
            except:
                echoLine = str(line)

            stdout += echoLine

        for line in iter(process.stderr.readline, b''):

            try:
                echoLine = line.decode("utf-8")
            except:
                echoLine = str(line)

            stderr += echoLine

    except (KeyboardInterrupt,SystemExit) as err:
        return [False,'',str(err)]

    process.stdout.close()

    returnCode = process.wait()
    if returnCode != 0 or stderr != '':
        return [False, stdout, stderr]
    else:
        return [True, stdout, stderr]

我倾向于与shlex一起使用子过程(以处理引用的绳子的逃避):

>>> import subprocess, shlex
>>> command = 'ls -l "/your/path/with spaces/"'
>>> call_params = shlex.split(command)
>>> print call_params
["ls", "-l", "/your/path/with spaces/"]
>>> subprocess.call(call_params)

使用Python模块的Popen函数是运行Linux命令的最简单方式,Popen.communicate()函数将为您的命令提供输出。

import subprocess

..
process = subprocess.Popen(..)   # Pass command and arguments to the function
stdout, stderr = process.communicate()   # Get command output and error
..

我写了一封信来处理错误,并重新引导输出和其他东西。

import shlex
import psutil
import subprocess

def call_cmd(cmd, stdout=sys.stdout, quiet=False, shell=False, raise_exceptions=True, use_shlex=True, timeout=None):
    """Exec command by command line like 'ln -ls "/var/log"'
    """
    if not quiet:
        print("Run %s", str(cmd))
    if use_shlex and isinstance(cmd, (str, unicode)):
        cmd = shlex.split(cmd)
    if timeout is None:
        process = subprocess.Popen(cmd, stdout=stdout, stderr=sys.stderr, shell=shell)
        retcode = process.wait()
    else:
        process = subprocess.Popen(cmd, stdout=stdout, stderr=sys.stderr, shell=shell)
        p = psutil.Process(process.pid)
        finish, alive = psutil.wait_procs([p], timeout)
        if len(alive) > 0:
            ps = p.children()
            ps.insert(0, p)
            print('waiting for timeout again due to child process check')
            finish, alive = psutil.wait_procs(ps, 0)
        if len(alive) > 0:
            print('process {} will be killed'.format([p.pid for p in alive]))
            for p in alive:
                p.kill()
            if raise_exceptions:
                print('External program timeout at {} {}'.format(timeout, cmd))
                raise CalledProcessTimeout(1, cmd)
        retcode = process.wait()
    if retcode and raise_exceptions:
        print("External program failed %s", str(cmd))
        raise subprocess.CalledProcessError(retcode, cmd)

你可以这样称之为:

cmd = 'ln -ls "/var/log"'
stdout = 'out.txt'
call_cmd(cmd, stdout)

典型的实施:

import subprocess

p = subprocess.Popen('ls', shell=True, stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stderr=subprocess.STDOUT)
for line in p.stdout.readlines():
    print line,
retval = p.wait()

事实上,你可以简单地忽略这些参数(stdout=和stderr=)并将像os.system()一样行事。
