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?

This solution kills the process tree in case of shell=True, passes parameters to the process (or not), has a timeout and gets the stdout, stderr and process output of the call back (it uses psutil for the kill_proc_tree). This was based on several solutions posted in SO including jcollado's. Posting in response to comments by Anson and jradice in jcollado's answer. Tested in Windows Srvr 2012 and Ubuntu 14.04. Please note that for Ubuntu you need to change the parent.children(...) call to parent.get_children(...).
def kill_proc_tree(pid, including_parent=True):
parent = psutil.Process(pid)
children = parent.children(recursive=True)
for child in children:
child.kill()
psutil.wait_procs(children, timeout=5)
if including_parent:
parent.kill()
parent.wait(5)
def run_with_timeout(cmd, current_dir, cmd_parms, timeout):
def target():
process = subprocess.Popen(cmd, cwd=current_dir, shell=True, stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stdin=subprocess.PIPE, stderr=subprocess.PIPE)
# wait for the process to terminate
if (cmd_parms == ""):
out, err = process.communicate()
else:
out, err = process.communicate(cmd_parms)
errcode = process.returncode
thread = Thread(target=target)
thread.start()
thread.join(timeout)
if thread.is_alive():
me = os.getpid()
kill_proc_tree(me, including_parent=False)
thread.join()

没想到居然没人提到超时
Timeout 5 ping -c 3 somehost
显然，这并不适用于每个用例，但如果您处理的是一个简单的脚本，那么这是很难克服的。
mac用户也可以通过homebrew在coreutils中使用gtimeout。
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"]
我添加了从jcollado线程到我的Python模块easyprocess的解决方案。
安装:
pip install easyprocess
例子:
from easyprocess import Proc
# shell is not supported!
stdout=Proc('ping localhost').call(timeout=1.5).stdout
print stdout
不幸的是，我的雇主在公开源代码方面有非常严格的规定，所以我不能提供实际的代码。但对我来说，最好的解决方案是创建一个子类重写Popen.wait()来轮询，而不是无限期地等待。__init__接受超时参数。一旦你这样做，所有其他Popen方法(调用等待)将按预期工作，包括通信。
https://pypi.python.org/pypi/python-subprocess2提供了子流程模块的扩展，允许您等待一段时间，否则将终止。
因此，等待最多10秒的进程终止，否则kill:
pipe = subprocess.Popen('...')
timeout = 10
results = pipe.waitOrTerminate(timeout)
这与windows和unix兼容。"results"是一个字典，它包含"returnCode"，这是应用程序的返回(或None，如果它必须被杀死)，以及"actionTaken"。如果流程正常完成，则为“SUBPROCESS2_PROCESS_COMPLETED”，或者根据所采取的操作，为“SUBPROCESS2_PROCESS_TERMINATED”和SUBPROCESS2_PROCESS_KILLED(详细信息请参阅文档)
