The :mod:`subprocess` module allows you to spawn new processes, connect to their
|
|
|
|
input/output/error pipes, and obtain their return codes. This module intends to
|
|
|
|
replace several other, older modules and functions, such as::
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
os.system
|
|
|
|
os.spawn*
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Information about how the :mod:`subprocess` module can be used to replace these
|
|
|
|
modules and functions can be found in the following sections.

Using the subprocess Module
|

|
|
---------------------------

|
|
|
The recommended approach to invoking subprocesses is to use the following
|
|
|
|
convenience functions for all use cases they can handle. For more advanced
|
|
|
|
use cases, the underlying :class:`Popen` interface can be used directly.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. function:: call(args, *, stdin=None, stdout=None, stderr=None, shell=False)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Run the command described by *args*. Wait for command to complete, then
|
|
|
|
return the :attr:`returncode` attribute.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The arguments shown above are merely the most common ones, described below
|
|
|
|
in :ref:`frequently-used-arguments` (hence the slightly odd notation in
|
|
|
|
the abbreviated signature). The full function signature is the same as
|
|
|
|
that of the :class:`Popen` constructor - this functions passes all
|
|
|
|
supplied arguments directly through to that interface.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Examples::
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
>>> subprocess.call(["ls", "-l"])
|
|
|
|
0
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
>>> subprocess.call("exit 1", shell=True)
|

|
|
.. warning::
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Invoking the system shell with ``shell=True`` can be a security hazard
|
|
|
|
if combined with untrusted input. See the warning under
|
|
|
|
:ref:`frequently-used-arguments` for details.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Do not use ``stdout=PIPE`` or ``stderr=PIPE`` with this function. As
|
|
|
|
the pipes are not being read in the current process, the child
|
|
|
|
process may block if it generates enough output to a pipe to fill up
|
|
|
|
the OS pipe buffer.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. function:: check_call(args, *, stdin=None, stdout=None, stderr=None, shell=False)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Run command with arguments. Wait for command to complete. If the return
|
|
|
|
code was zero then return, otherwise raise :exc:`CalledProcessError`. The
|
|
|
|
:exc:`CalledProcessError` object will have the return code in the
|
|
|
|
:attr:`returncode` attribute.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
.. function:: check_output(args, *, stdin=None, stderr=None, shell=False, universal_newlines=False)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Run command with arguments and return its output as a byte string.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If the return code was non-zero it raises a :exc:`CalledProcessError`. The
|
|
|
|
:exc:`CalledProcessError` object will have the return code in the
|
|
|
|
:attr:`returncode` attribute and any output in the :attr:`output`
|
|
|
|
attribute.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The arguments shown above are merely the most common ones, described below
|
|
|
|
in :ref:`frequently-used-arguments` (hence the slightly odd notation in
|
|
|
|
the abbreviated signature). The full function signature is largely the
|
|
|
|
same as that of the :class:`Popen` constructor, except that *stdout* is
|
|
|
|
not permitted as it is used internally. All other supplied arguments are
|
|
|
|
passed directly through to the :class:`Popen` constructor.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Examples::
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
>>> subprocess.check_output(["echo", "Hello World!"])
|
|
|
|
b'Hello World!\n'
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
>>> subprocess.check_output(["echo", "Hello World!"], universal_newlines=True)
|
|
|
|
'Hello World!\n'

|
...
|
|
|
|
subprocess.CalledProcessError: Command 'exit 1' returned non-zero exit status 1
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
By default, this function will return the data as encoded bytes. The actual
|
|
|
|
encoding of the output data may depend on the command being invoked, so the
|
|
|
|
decoding to text will often need to be handled at the application level.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This behaviour may be overridden by setting *universal_newlines* to
|
|
|
|
:const:`True` as described below in :ref:`frequently-used-arguments`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To also capture standard error in the result, use
|
|
|
|
``stderr=subprocess.STDOUT``::

|
|
|

|
|
|
>>> subprocess.check_output(
|
|
|
|
... "ls non_existent_file; exit 0",
|

Frequently Used Arguments
|
|
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To support a wide variety of use cases, the :class:`Popen` constructor (and
|
|
|
|
the convenience functions) accept a large number of optional arguments. For
|
|
|
|
most typical use cases, many of these arguments can be safely left at their
|
|
|
|
default values. The arguments that are most commonly needed are:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
*args* is required for all calls and should be a string, or a sequence of
|
|
|
|
program arguments. Providing a sequence of arguments is generally
|
|
|
|
preferred, as it allows the module to take care of any required escaping
|
|
|
|
and quoting of arguments (e.g. to permit spaces in file names). If passing
|
|
|
|
a single string, either *shell* must be :const:`True` (see below) or else
|
|
|
|
the string must simply name the program to be executed without specifying
|
|
|
|
any arguments.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
*stdin*, *stdout* and *stderr* specify the executed program's standard input,
|
|
|
|
standard output and standard error file handles, respectively. Valid values
|
|
|
|
are :data:`PIPE`, an existing file descriptor (a positive integer), an
|
|
|
|
existing file object, and ``None``. :data:`PIPE` indicates that a new pipe
|
|
|
|
to the child should be created. With the default settings of ``None``, no
|
|
|
|
redirection will occur; the child's file handles will be inherited from the
|
|
|
|
parent. Additionally, *stderr* can be :data:`STDOUT`, which indicates that
|
|
|
|
the stderr data from the child process should be captured into the same file
|
|
|
|
handle as for stdout.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
When *stdout* or *stderr* are pipes and *universal_newlines* is
|
|
|
|
:const:`True` then the output data is assumed to be encoded as UTF-8 and
|
|
|
|
will automatically be decoded to text. All line endings will be converted
|
|
|
|
to ``'\n'`` as described for the universal newlines `'U'`` mode argument
|
|
|
|
to :func:`open`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If *shell* is :const:`True`, the specified command will be executed through
|
|
|
|
the shell. This can be useful if you are using Python primarily for the
|
|
|
|
enhanced control flow it offers over most system shells and still want
|
|
|
|
access to other shell features such as filename wildcards, shell pipes and
|
|
|
|
environment variable expansion.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. warning::
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Executing shell commands that incorporate unsanitized input from an
|
|
|
|
untrusted source makes a program vulnerable to `shell injection
|
|
|
|
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shell_injection#Shell_injection>`_,
|
|
|
|
a serious security flaw which can result in arbitrary command execution.
|
|
|
|
For this reason, the use of *shell=True* is **strongly discouraged** in cases
|
|
|
|
where the command string is constructed from external input::
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
>>> from subprocess import call
|
|
|
|
>>> filename = input("What file would you like to display?\n")
|
|
|
|
What file would you like to display?
|
|
|
|
non_existent; rm -rf / #
|
|
|
|
>>> call("cat " + filename, shell=True) # Uh-oh. This will end badly...
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
``shell=False`` disables all shell based features, but does not suffer
|
|
|
|
from this vulnerability; see the Note in the :class:`Popen` constructor
|
|
|
|
documentation for helpful hints in getting ``shell=False`` to work.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
These options, along with all of the other options, are described in more
|
|
|
|
detail in the :class:`Popen` constructor documentation.

Popen Constuctor

|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The underlying process creation and management in this module is handled by
|
|
|
|
the :class:`Popen` class. It offers a lot of flexibility so that developers
|
|
|
|
are able to handle the less common cases not covered by the convenience
|
|
|
|
functions.

to execute is normally the first item in the args sequence or the string if
|
|
|
|
a string is given, but can be explicitly set by using the *executable*
|
|
|
|
argument. When *executable* is given, the first item in the args sequence
|
|
|
|
is still treated by most programs as the command name, which can then be
|
|
|
|
different from the actual executable name. On Unix, it becomes the display
|
|
|
|
name for the executing program in utilities such as :program:`ps`.
|
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
On Unix, with *shell=False* (default): In this case, the Popen class uses
|
2010-03-14 03:49:55 -03:00
|
|
|
:meth:`os.execvp` like behavior to execute the child program.
|
|
|
|
*args* should normally be a
|
2010-02-04 12:41:57 -04:00
|
|
|
sequence. If a string is specified for *args*, it will be used as the name
|
|
|
|
or path of the program to execute; this will only work if the program is
|
|
|
|
being given no arguments.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
:meth:`shlex.split` can be useful when determining the correct
|
|
|
|
tokenization for *args*, especially in complex cases::
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
>>> import shlex, subprocess
|
2010-02-05 12:25:12 -04:00
|
|
|
>>> command_line = input()
|
2010-02-04 12:41:57 -04:00
|
|
|
/bin/vikings -input eggs.txt -output "spam spam.txt" -cmd "echo '$MONEY'"
|
|
|
|
>>> args = shlex.split(command_line)
|
|
|
|
>>> print(args)
|
|
|
|
['/bin/vikings', '-input', 'eggs.txt', '-output', 'spam spam.txt', '-cmd', "echo '$MONEY'"]
|
|
|
|
>>> p = subprocess.Popen(args) # Success!
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Note in particular that options (such as *-input*) and arguments (such
|
|
|
|
as *eggs.txt*) that are separated by whitespace in the shell go in separate
|
|
|
|
list elements, while arguments that need quoting or backslash escaping when
|
|
|
|
used in the shell (such as filenames containing spaces or the *echo* command
|
|
|
|
shown above) are single list elements.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
On Unix, with *shell=True*: If args is a string, it specifies the command
|
|
|
|
string to execute through the shell. This means that the string must be
|
|
|
|
formatted exactly as it would be when typed at the shell prompt. This
|
|
|
|
includes, for example, quoting or backslash escaping filenames with spaces in
|
|
|
|
them. If *args* is a sequence, the first item specifies the command string, and
|
|
|
|
any additional items will be treated as additional arguments to the shell
|
|
|
|
itself. That is to say, *Popen* does the equivalent of::
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Popen(['/bin/sh', '-c', args[0], args[1], ...])
|

|
.. warning::
|
|
|
|
|
2011-11-08 06:49:23 -04:00
|
|
|
Enabling this option can be a security hazard if combined with untrusted
|
|
|
|
input. See the warning under :ref:`frequently-used-arguments`
|
|
|
|
for details.

2010-11-11 20:35:31 -04:00

|

2011-04-15 01:23:26 -03:00
|
|
|
On Windows: the :class:`Popen` class uses CreateProcess() to execute the
|
|
|
|
child program, which operates on strings. If *args* is a sequence, it will
|
|
|
|
be converted to a string in a manner described in
|
|
|
|
:ref:`converting-argument-sequence`.
|
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
*bufsize*, if given, has the same meaning as the corresponding argument to the
|
|
|
|
built-in open() function: :const:`0` means unbuffered, :const:`1` means line
|
|
|
|
buffered, any other positive value means use a buffer of (approximately) that
|
|
|
|
size. A negative *bufsize* means to use the system default, which usually means
|
|
|
|
fully buffered. The default value for *bufsize* is :const:`0` (unbuffered).
|
|
|
|
|
2010-06-02 14:10:49 -03:00
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you experience performance issues, it is recommended that you try to
|
|
|
|
enable buffering by setting *bufsize* to either -1 or a large enough
|
|
|
|
positive value (such as 4096).

The *executable* argument specifies the program to execute. It is very seldom
|
|
|
|
needed: Usually, the program to execute is defined by the *args* argument. If
|
|
|
|
``shell=True``, the *executable* argument specifies which shell to use. On Unix,
|
|
|
|
the default shell is :file:`/bin/sh`. On Windows, the default shell is

standard output and standard error file handles, respectively. Valid values

are :data:`PIPE`, an existing file descriptor (a positive integer), an
|
2010-09-15 08:11:28 -03:00
|
|
|
existing :term:`file object`, and ``None``. :data:`PIPE` indicates that a
|
2011-11-08 06:49:23 -04:00
|
|
|
new pipe to the child should be created. With the default settings of
|
|
|
|
``None``, no redirection will occur; the child's file handles will be
|
|
|
|
inherited from the parent. Additionally, *stderr* can be :data:`STDOUT`,
|
|
|
|
which indicates that the stderr data from the applications should be
|
|

captured into the same file handle as for stdout.

.. warning::
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The *preexec_fn* parameter is not safe to use in the presence of threads
|
|
|
|
in your application. The child process could deadlock before exec is
|
|
|
|
called.
|
|
|
|
If you must use it, keep it trivial! Minimize the number of libraries
|
|
|

you call into.

|
.. note::
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you need to modify the environment for the child use the *env*
|
|
|
|
parameter rather than doing it in a *preexec_fn*.
|
|
|
|
The *start_new_session* parameter can take the place of a previously
|

common use of *preexec_fn* to call os.setsid() in the child.

If *close_fds* is true, all file descriptors except :const:`0`, :const:`1` and

:const:`2` will be closed before the child process is executed. (Unix only).

The default varies by platform: Always true on Unix. On Windows it is

true when *stdin*/*stdout*/*stderr* are :const:`None`, false otherwise.
|
2010-12-04 05:10:44 -04:00
|
|
|
On Windows, if *close_fds* is true then no handles will be inherited by the
|
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
|
|
|
child process. Note that on Windows, you cannot set *close_fds* to true and

also redirect the standard handles by setting *stdin*, *stdout* or *stderr*.

what is described above.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
*pass_fds* is an optional sequence of file descriptors to keep open
|
|
|
|
between the parent and child. Providing any *pass_fds* forces
|

*close_fds* to be :const:`True`. (Unix only)

If *cwd* is not ``None``, the child's current directory will be changed to *cwd*
|
|
|
|
before it is executed. Note that this directory is not considered when

searching the executable, so you can't specify the program's path relative to

*cwd*.

If *restore_signals* is True (the default) all signals that Python has set to

SIG_IGN are restored to SIG_DFL in the child process before the exec.

Currently this includes the SIGPIPE, SIGXFZ and SIGXFSZ signals.

Exceptions
|
|
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Exceptions raised in the child process, before the new program has started to
|
|
|
|
execute, will be re-raised in the parent. Additionally, the exception object
|
|
|
|
will have one extra attribute called :attr:`child_traceback`, which is a string
|
2010-08-26 11:30:56 -03:00
|
|
|
containing traceback information from the child's point of view.
|
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The most common exception raised is :exc:`OSError`. This occurs, for example,
|
|
|
|
when trying to execute a non-existent file. Applications should prepare for
|
|
|
|
:exc:`OSError` exceptions.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A :exc:`ValueError` will be raised if :class:`Popen` is called with invalid
|
|
|
|
arguments.
|
|
|
|
|
2011-11-08 06:49:23 -04:00
|
|
|
:func:`check_call` and :func:`check_output` will raise
|
|
|
|
:exc:`CalledProcessError` if the called process returns a non-zero return
|
|
|
|
code.

Unlike some other popen functions, this implementation will never call a
|
|
|
|
system shell implicitly. This means that all characters, including shell
|
|
|
|
metacharacters, can safely be passed to child processes. Obviously, if the
|
|
|
|
shell is invoked explicitly, then it is the application's responsibility to
|
|
|
|
ensure that all whitespace and metacharacters are quoted appropriately.

-------------
|
|
|
|
|
|

Instances of the :class:`Popen` class have the following methods:

|
|
|
.. method:: Popen.poll()

This will deadlock when using ``stdout=PIPE`` and/or

|
|
``stderr=PIPE`` and the child process generates enough output to

a pipe such that it blocks waiting for the OS pipe buffer to

#3367 from Kristjan Valur Jonsson:
If a PyTokenizer_FromString() is called with an empty string, the
tokenizer's line_start member never gets initialized. Later, it is
compared with the token pointer 'a' in parsetok.c:193 and that behavior
can result in undefined behavior.

Backport of the PCbuild9 directory from the py3k branch.
I've finished the last task for the PCbuild9 directory today. I don't think there is much left to do. Now you can all play around with the shiny new VS 2008 and try the PGO builds. I was able to get a speed improvement of about 10% on py3k.

Major change in the internal structure of the Decimal
number: now it does not store the mantissa as a tuple
of numbers, but as a string.
This avoids a lot of conversions, and achieves a
speedup of 40%. The API remains intact.
Thanks Mark Dickinson.

Note that if you want to send data to the process's stdin, you need to create
|
|
|
|
the Popen object with ``stdin=PIPE``. Similarly, to get anything other than
|
|
|
|
``None`` in the result tuple, you need to give ``stdout=PIPE`` and/or
|
|
|
|
``stderr=PIPE`` too.

Windows Popen Helpers
|
|
|
|
---------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The :class:`STARTUPINFO` class and following constants are only available
|
|
|
|
on Windows.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. class:: STARTUPINFO()
|
2011-04-30 00:18:33 -03:00
|
|
|
|
2011-04-30 00:17:51 -03:00
|
|
|
Partial support of the Windows
|
|
|
|
`STARTUPINFO <http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms686331(v=vs.85).aspx>`__
|
|
|
|
structure is used for :class:`Popen` creation.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. attribute:: dwFlags
|
|
|
|
|
2011-07-04 15:28:30 -03:00
|
|
|
A bit field that determines whether certain :class:`STARTUPINFO`
|
|
|
|
attributes are used when the process creates a window. ::
|
2011-04-30 00:17:51 -03:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
si = subprocess.STARTUPINFO()
|
|
|
|
si.dwFlags = subprocess.STARTF_USESTDHANDLES | subprocess.STARTF_USESHOWWINDOW

|
|
|
|
.. attribute:: hStdInput
|
|
|
|
|
2011-07-04 15:28:30 -03:00
|
|
|
If :attr:`dwFlags` specifies :data:`STARTF_USESTDHANDLES`, this attribute
|
|
|
|
is the standard input handle for the process. If
|
|
|
|
:data:`STARTF_USESTDHANDLES` is not specified, the default for standard
|
|
|
|
input is the keyboard buffer.
|
2011-04-30 00:17:51 -03:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. attribute:: hStdOutput
|
|
|
|
|
2011-07-04 15:28:30 -03:00
|
|
|
If :attr:`dwFlags` specifies :data:`STARTF_USESTDHANDLES`, this attribute
|
|
|
|
is the standard output handle for the process. Otherwise, this attribute
|
|
|
|
is ignored and the default for standard output is the console window's
|
2011-04-30 00:17:51 -03:00
|
|
|
buffer.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. attribute:: hStdError
|
|
|
|
|
2011-07-04 15:28:30 -03:00
|
|
|
If :attr:`dwFlags` specifies :data:`STARTF_USESTDHANDLES`, this attribute
|
|
|
|
is the standard error handle for the process. Otherwise, this attribute is
|
2011-04-30 00:17:51 -03:00
|
|
|
ignored and the default for standard error is the console window's buffer.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. attribute:: wShowWindow
|
|
|
|
|
2011-07-04 15:28:30 -03:00
|
|
|
If :attr:`dwFlags` specifies :data:`STARTF_USESHOWWINDOW`, this attribute
|
2011-04-30 00:17:51 -03:00
|
|
|
can be any of the values that can be specified in the ``nCmdShow``
|

|
function, except for ``SW_SHOWDEFAULT``. Otherwise, this attribute is
|
2011-04-30 00:17:51 -03:00
|
|
|
ignored.
|
2011-04-30 00:18:33 -03:00
|
|
|
|
2011-04-30 00:17:51 -03:00
|
|
|
:data:`SW_HIDE` is provided for this attribute. It is used when
|
|
|
|
:class:`Popen` is called with ``shell=True``.

|
|
|
|
|
|
Constants
|
|
|
|
^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The :mod:`subprocess` module exposes the following constants.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. data:: STD_INPUT_HANDLE
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The standard input device. Initially, this is the console input buffer,
|
|
|
|
``CONIN$``.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. data:: STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The standard output device. Initially, this is the active console screen
|
|
|
|
buffer, ``CONOUT$``.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. data:: STD_ERROR_HANDLE
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The standard error device. Initially, this is the active console screen
|
|
|
|
buffer, ``CONOUT$``.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. data:: SW_HIDE
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Hides the window. Another window will be activated.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. data:: STARTF_USESTDHANDLES
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Specifies that the :attr:`STARTUPINFO.hStdInput`,
|
2011-07-04 15:28:30 -03:00
|
|
|
:attr:`STARTUPINFO.hStdOutput`, and :attr:`STARTUPINFO.hStdError` attributes
|
2011-04-30 00:17:51 -03:00
|
|
|
contain additional information.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. data:: STARTF_USESHOWWINDOW
|
|
|
|
|
2011-07-04 15:28:30 -03:00
|
|
|
Specifies that the :attr:`STARTUPINFO.wShowWindow` attribute contains
|
2011-04-30 00:17:51 -03:00
|
|
|
additional information.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. data:: CREATE_NEW_CONSOLE
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The new process has a new console, instead of inheriting its parent's
|
|
|
|
console (the default).
|
2011-04-30 00:18:33 -03:00
|
|
|
|
2011-04-30 00:17:51 -03:00
|
|
|
This flag is always set when :class:`Popen` is created with ``shell=True``.
|
|
|
|
|
2011-04-30 00:20:57 -03:00
|
|
|
.. data:: CREATE_NEW_PROCESS_GROUP
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A :class:`Popen` ``creationflags`` parameter to specify that a new process
|
|
|
|
group will be created. This flag is necessary for using :func:`os.kill`
|
|
|
|
on the subprocess.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This flag is ignored if :data:`CREATE_NEW_CONSOLE` is specified.

Replacing Older Functions with the subprocess Module
|
|
|

----------------------------------------------------
|

2011-11-08 06:49:23 -04:00
|
|
|
In this section, "a becomes b" means that b can be used as a replacement for a.
|
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
|
|
|
2011-11-08 06:49:23 -04:00
|
|
|
All "a" functions in this section fail (more or less) silently if the
|
|
|
|
executed program cannot be found; the "b" replacements raise :exc:`OSError`
|
|
|
|
instead.
|
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
|
|
|
|
2011-11-08 06:49:23 -04:00
|
|
|
In addition, the replacements using :func:`check_output` will fail with a
|
|
|
|
:exc:`CalledProcessError` if the requested operation produces a non-zero
|
|
|
|
return code. The output is still available as the ``output`` attribute of
|
|
|
|
the raised exception.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In the following examples, we assume that the relevant functions have already
|
|
|
|
been imported from the subprocess module.

|
2011-02-05 17:47:25 -04:00
|
|
|
p1.stdout.close() # Allow p1 to receive a SIGPIPE if p2 exits.
|
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
|
|
|
output = p2.communicate()[0]
|
|
|
|
|
2011-02-05 17:47:25 -04:00
|
|
|
The p1.stdout.close() call after starting the p2 is important in order for p1
|
|
|
|
to receive a SIGPIPE if p2 exits before p1.
|
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
|
|

2011-11-08 06:49:23 -04:00
|
|
|
Alternatively, for trusted input, the shell's own pipeline support may still
|
|
|
|
be used directly:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
output=`dmesg | grep hda`
|
|
|
|
# becomes
|
|
|
|
output=check_output("dmesg | grep hda", shell=True)

|
|
|
* Calling the program through the shell is usually not required.

Replacing functions from the :mod:`popen2` module
|
|
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If the cmd argument to popen2 functions is a string, the command is executed
|
|
|
|
through /bin/sh. If it is a list, the command is directly executed.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
(child_stdout, child_stdin) = popen2.popen2("somestring", bufsize, mode)
|
|
|
|
==>
|
|
|
|
p = Popen(["somestring"], shell=True, bufsize=bufsize,
|
|
|
|
stdin=PIPE, stdout=PIPE, close_fds=True)
|
|
|
|
(child_stdout, child_stdin) = (p.stdout, p.stdin)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
(child_stdout, child_stdin) = popen2.popen2(["mycmd", "myarg"], bufsize, mode)
|
|
|
|
==>
|
|
|
|
p = Popen(["mycmd", "myarg"], bufsize=bufsize,
|
|
|
|
stdin=PIPE, stdout=PIPE, close_fds=True)
|
|
|
|
(child_stdout, child_stdin) = (p.stdout, p.stdin)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
:class:`popen2.Popen3` and :class:`popen2.Popen4` basically work as
|
|
|
|
:class:`subprocess.Popen`, except that:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* :class:`Popen` raises an exception if the execution fails.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* the *capturestderr* argument is replaced with the *stderr* argument.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* ``stdin=PIPE`` and ``stdout=PIPE`` must be specified.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* popen2 closes all file descriptors by default, but you have to specify
|
2010-12-13 02:45:02 -04:00
|
|
|
``close_fds=True`` with :class:`Popen` to guarantee this behavior on
|
|
|
|
all platforms or past Python versions.

Legacy Shell Invocation Functions
|
2011-11-08 07:50:58 -04:00
|
|
|
---------------------------------
|
2011-11-08 06:49:23 -04:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This module also provides the following legacy functions from the 2.x
|
|
|
|
``commands`` module. These operations implicitly invoke the system shell and
|
|
|
|
none of the guarantees described above regarding security and exception
|
|
|
|
handling consistency are valid for these functions.
|
|
|
|
|
|

.. function:: getstatusoutput(cmd)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Return ``(status, output)`` of executing *cmd* in a shell.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Execute the string *cmd* in a shell with :func:`os.popen` and return a 2-tuple
|
|
|
|
``(status, output)``. *cmd* is actually run as ``{ cmd ; } 2>&1``, so that the
|
|
|
|
returned output will contain output or error messages. A trailing newline is
|
|
|
|
stripped from the output. The exit status for the command can be interpreted
|
|
|
|
according to the rules for the C function :c:func:`wait`. Example::
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
>>> subprocess.getstatusoutput('ls /bin/ls')
|
|
|
|
(0, '/bin/ls')
|
|
|
|
>>> subprocess.getstatusoutput('cat /bin/junk')
|
|
|
|
(256, 'cat: /bin/junk: No such file or directory')
|
|
|
|
>>> subprocess.getstatusoutput('/bin/junk')
|
|
|
|
(256, 'sh: /bin/junk: not found')

.. function:: getoutput(cmd)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Return output (stdout and stderr) of executing *cmd* in a shell.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Like :func:`getstatusoutput`, except the exit status is ignored and the return
|
|
|
|
value is a string containing the command's output. Example::
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
>>> subprocess.getoutput('ls /bin/ls')
|
|
|
|
'/bin/ls'

Converting an argument sequence to a string on Windows
|
|
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
On Windows, an *args* sequence is converted to a string that can be parsed
|
|
|
|
using the following rules (which correspond to the rules used by the MS C
|
|
|
|
runtime):
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. Arguments are delimited by white space, which is either a
|
|
|
|
space or a tab.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2. A string surrounded by double quotation marks is
|
|
|
|
interpreted as a single argument, regardless of white space
|
|
|
|
contained within. A quoted string can be embedded in an
|
|
|
|
argument.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
3. A double quotation mark preceded by a backslash is
|
|
|
|
interpreted as a literal double quotation mark.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
4. Backslashes are interpreted literally, unless they
|
|
|
|
immediately precede a double quotation mark.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
5. If backslashes immediately precede a double quotation mark,
|
|
|
|
every pair of backslashes is interpreted as a literal
|
|
|
|
backslash. If the number of backslashes is odd, the last
|
|
|
|
backslash escapes the next double quotation mark as
|
|
|
|
described in rule 3.
