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
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
其他回答
下面是Alex Martelli的解决方案，它是一个具有适当进程终止的模块。其他方法不起作用，因为它们没有使用proc. communication()。所以如果你有一个产生大量输出的进程，它会填满它的输出缓冲区，然后阻塞，直到你从中读取一些东西。
from os import kill
from signal import alarm, signal, SIGALRM, SIGKILL
from subprocess import PIPE, Popen
def run(args, cwd = None, shell = False, kill_tree = True, timeout = -1, env = None):
'''
Run a command with a timeout after which it will be forcibly
killed.
'''
class Alarm(Exception):
pass
def alarm_handler(signum, frame):
raise Alarm
p = Popen(args, shell = shell, cwd = cwd, stdout = PIPE, stderr = PIPE, env = env)
if timeout != -1:
signal(SIGALRM, alarm_handler)
alarm(timeout)
try:
stdout, stderr = p.communicate()
if timeout != -1:
alarm(0)
except Alarm:
pids = [p.pid]
if kill_tree:
pids.extend(get_process_children(p.pid))
for pid in pids:
# process might have died before getting to this line
# so wrap to avoid OSError: no such process
try:
kill(pid, SIGKILL)
except OSError:
pass
return -9, '', ''
return p.returncode, stdout, stderr
def get_process_children(pid):
p = Popen('ps --no-headers -o pid --ppid %d' % pid, shell = True,
stdout = PIPE, stderr = PIPE)
stdout, stderr = p.communicate()
return [int(p) for p in stdout.split()]
if __name__ == '__main__':
print run('find /', shell = True, timeout = 3)
print run('find', shell = True)
这是我的解决方案，我使用线程和事件:
import subprocess
from threading import Thread, Event
def kill_on_timeout(done, timeout, proc):
if not done.wait(timeout):
proc.kill()
def exec_command(command, timeout):
done = Event()
proc = subprocess.Popen(command, stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stderr=subprocess.PIPE)
watcher = Thread(target=kill_on_timeout, args=(done, timeout, proc))
watcher.daemon = True
watcher.start()
data, stderr = proc.communicate()
done.set()
return data, stderr, proc.returncode
在行动:
In [2]: exec_command(['sleep', '10'], 5)
Out[2]: ('', '', -9)
In [3]: exec_command(['sleep', '10'], 11)
Out[3]: ('', '', 0)
我已经在Windows, Linux和Mac上成功地使用了killableprocess。如果你使用Cygwin Python，你将需要OSAF的killableprocess版本，否则本机Windows进程将不会被杀死。
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"]
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
