这至少在Python3.4中是有效的

import subprocess

process = subprocess.Popen(cmd_list, stdout=subprocess.PIPE)
for line in process.stdout:
    print(line.decode().strip())

这个PoC不断地从进程中读取输出，并可以在需要时访问。只有最后一个结果被保留，所有其他输出都被丢弃，因此防止了PIPE的内存不足:

import subprocess
import time
import threading
import Queue


class FlushPipe(object):
    def __init__(self):
        self.command = ['python', './print_date.py']
        self.process = None
        self.process_output = Queue.LifoQueue(0)
        self.capture_output = threading.Thread(target=self.output_reader)

    def output_reader(self):
        for line in iter(self.process.stdout.readline, b''):
            self.process_output.put_nowait(line)

    def start_process(self):
        self.process = subprocess.Popen(self.command,
                                        stdout=subprocess.PIPE)
        self.capture_output.start()

    def get_output_for_processing(self):
        line = self.process_output.get()
        print ">>>" + line


if __name__ == "__main__":
    flush_pipe = FlushPipe()
    flush_pipe.start_process()

    now = time.time()
    while time.time() - now < 10:
        flush_pipe.get_output_for_processing()
        time.sleep(2.5)

    flush_pipe.capture_output.join(timeout=0.001)
    flush_pipe.process.kill()

print_date.py

#!/usr/bin/env python
import time

if __name__ == "__main__":
    while True:
        print str(time.time())
        time.sleep(0.01)

输出:你可以清楚地看到只有大约2.5s的输出间隔。

>>>1520535161.01
>>>1520535163.51
>>>1520535166.01

如果有人想同时使用线程从stdout和stderr读取，这是我想到的:

import threading
import subprocess
import Queue

class AsyncLineReader(threading.Thread):
    def __init__(self, fd, outputQueue):
        threading.Thread.__init__(self)

        assert isinstance(outputQueue, Queue.Queue)
        assert callable(fd.readline)

        self.fd = fd
        self.outputQueue = outputQueue

    def run(self):
        map(self.outputQueue.put, iter(self.fd.readline, ''))

    def eof(self):
        return not self.is_alive() and self.outputQueue.empty()

    @classmethod
    def getForFd(cls, fd, start=True):
        queue = Queue.Queue()
        reader = cls(fd, queue)

        if start:
            reader.start()

        return reader, queue


process = subprocess.Popen(command, shell=True, stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stderr=subprocess.PIPE)
(stdoutReader, stdoutQueue) = AsyncLineReader.getForFd(process.stdout)
(stderrReader, stderrQueue) = AsyncLineReader.getForFd(process.stderr)

# Keep checking queues until there is no more output.
while not stdoutReader.eof() or not stderrReader.eof():
   # Process all available lines from the stdout Queue.
   while not stdoutQueue.empty():
       line = stdoutQueue.get()
       print 'Received stdout: ' + repr(line)

       # Do stuff with stdout line.

   # Process all available lines from the stderr Queue.
   while not stderrQueue.empty():
       line = stderrQueue.get()
       print 'Received stderr: ' + repr(line)

       # Do stuff with stderr line.

   # Sleep for a short time to avoid excessive CPU use while waiting for data.
   sleep(0.05)

print "Waiting for async readers to finish..."
stdoutReader.join()
stderrReader.join()

# Close subprocess' file descriptors.
process.stdout.close()
process.stderr.close()

print "Waiting for process to exit..."
returnCode = process.wait()

if returnCode != 0:
   raise subprocess.CalledProcessError(returnCode, command)

我只是想分享这个，因为我在这个问题上试图做类似的事情，但没有一个答案能解决我的问题。希望它能帮助到某些人!

请注意，在我的用例中，外部进程杀死了Popen()所使用的进程。

在Python 3中，只要子进程的stdout缓冲区被刷新，就逐行打印子进程的输出:

from subprocess import Popen, PIPE, CalledProcessError

with Popen(cmd, stdout=PIPE, bufsize=1, universal_newlines=True) as p:
    for line in p.stdout:
        print(line, end='') # process line here

if p.returncode != 0:
    raise CalledProcessError(p.returncode, p.args)

注意:你不需要p.poll()——当到达eof时循环结束。你不需要iter(p.s dout。readline， ")——在Python 3中修复了预读错误。

另请参阅Python:从subprocess. communication()读取流输入。

尝试了你的代码，并针对3.4和Windows进行了修正 dir。CMD是一个简单的dir命令，保存为CMD -file

import subprocess
c = "dir.cmd"

def execute(command):
    popen = subprocess.Popen(command, stdout=subprocess.PIPE,bufsize=1)
    lines_iterator = iter(popen.stdout.readline, b"")
    while popen.poll() is None:
        for line in lines_iterator:
            nline = line.rstrip()
            print(nline.decode("latin"), end = "\r\n",flush =True) # yield line

execute(c)

在@jfs的出色回答的基础上，这里有一个完整的工作示例供您使用。要求Python 3.7或更新版本。

sub.py

import time

for i in range(10):
    print(i, flush=True)
    time.sleep(1)

main.py

from subprocess import PIPE, Popen
import sys

with Popen([sys.executable, 'sub.py'], bufsize=1, stdout=PIPE, text=True) as sub:
    for line in sub.stdout:
        print(line, end='')

注意子脚本中使用的flush参数。
