下面是运行任意命令返回其标准输出数据的Python代码,或在非零退出码上引发异常:

proc = subprocess.Popen(
    cmd,
    stderr=subprocess.STDOUT,  # Merge stdout and stderr
    stdout=subprocess.PIPE,
    shell=True)

communication用于等待进程退出:

stdoutdata, stderrdata = proc.communicate()

子进程模块不支持超时——杀死运行超过X秒的进程的能力——因此,通信可能需要很长时间才能运行。

在Windows和Linux上运行的Python程序中实现超时的最简单方法是什么?


当前回答

虽然我还没有广泛地研究它,但我在ActiveState中发现的这个装饰器似乎对这类事情非常有用。伴随着subprocess.Popen(…, close_fds=True),至少我已经准备好在Python中编写shell脚本。

其他回答

我已经修改了sussudio的答案。现在函数返回:(returncode, stdout, stderr, timeout) - stdout和stderr被解码为utf-8字符串

def kill_proc(proc, timeout):
  timeout["value"] = True
  proc.kill()

def run(cmd, timeout_sec):
  proc = subprocess.Popen(shlex.split(cmd), stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stderr=subprocess.PIPE)
  timeout = {"value": False}
  timer = Timer(timeout_sec, kill_proc, [proc, timeout])
  timer.start()
  stdout, stderr = proc.communicate()
  timer.cancel()
  return proc.returncode, stdout.decode("utf-8"), stderr.decode("utf-8"), timeout["value"]

Jcollado的答案可以使用线程来简化。定时器类:

import shlex
from subprocess import Popen, PIPE
from threading import Timer

def run(cmd, timeout_sec):
    proc = Popen(shlex.split(cmd), stdout=PIPE, stderr=PIPE)
    timer = Timer(timeout_sec, proc.kill)
    try:
        timer.start()
        stdout, stderr = proc.communicate()
    finally:
        timer.cancel()

# Examples: both take 1 second
run("sleep 1", 5)  # process ends normally at 1 second
run("sleep 5", 1)  # timeout happens at 1 second

python 2.7

import time
import subprocess

def run_command(cmd, timeout=0):
    start_time = time.time()
    df = subprocess.Popen(cmd, stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stderr=subprocess.PIPE)
    while timeout and df.poll() == None:
        if time.time()-start_time >= timeout:
            df.kill()
            return -1, ""
    output = '\n'.join(df.communicate()).strip()
    return df.returncode, output

另一种选择是写入临时文件以防止标准输出阻塞,而不需要使用communication()轮询。在其他答案没有的地方,这个方法对我有用;比如在窗户上。

    outFile =  tempfile.SpooledTemporaryFile() 
    errFile =   tempfile.SpooledTemporaryFile() 
    proc = subprocess.Popen(args, stderr=errFile, stdout=outFile, universal_newlines=False)
    wait_remaining_sec = timeout

    while proc.poll() is None and wait_remaining_sec > 0:
        time.sleep(1)
        wait_remaining_sec -= 1

    if wait_remaining_sec <= 0:
        killProc(proc.pid)
        raise ProcessIncompleteError(proc, timeout)

    # read temp streams from start
    outFile.seek(0);
    errFile.seek(0);
    out = outFile.read()
    err = errFile.read()
    outFile.close()
    errFile.close()

如果你正在使用python2,请尝试一下

import subprocess32

try:
    output = subprocess32.check_output(command, shell=True, timeout=3)
except subprocess32.TimeoutExpired as e:
    print e
