|
Windows event loop
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
On Windows, the default event loop is :class:`SelectorEventLoop` which does not
|
|
support subprocesses. :class:`ProactorEventLoop` should be used instead.
|
|
Example to use it on Windows::
|
|
|
|
import asyncio, os
|
|
|
|
if os.name == 'nt':
|
|
loop = asyncio.ProactorEventLoop()
|
|
asyncio.set_event_loop(loop)
|
|
|
|
.. seealso::
|
|
|
|
:ref:`Available event loops <asyncio-event-loops>` and :ref:`Platform
|
|
support <asyncio-platform-support>`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Create a subprocess: high-level API using Process
|
|
-------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
.. function:: create_subprocess_shell(cmd, stdin=None, stdout=None, stderr=None, loop=None, limit=None, \*\*kwds)
|
|
|
|
Run the shell command *cmd*. See :meth:`BaseEventLoop.subprocess_shell` for
|
|
parameters. Return a :class:`~asyncio.subprocess.Process` instance.
|
|
|
|
The optional *limit* parameter sets the buffer limit passed to the
|
|
:class:`StreamReader`.
|
|
|
|
This function is a :ref:`coroutine <coroutine>`.
|
|
|
|
.. function:: create_subprocess_exec(\*args, stdin=None, stdout=None, stderr=None, loop=None, limit=None, \*\*kwds)
|
|
|
|
Create a subprocess. See :meth:`BaseEventLoop.subprocess_exec` for
|
|
parameters. Return a :class:`~asyncio.subprocess.Process` instance.
|
|
|
|
The optional *limit* parameter sets the buffer limit passed to the
|
|
:class:`StreamReader`.
|
|
|
|
This function is a :ref:`coroutine <coroutine>`.
|
|
|
|
Use the :meth:`BaseEventLoop.connect_read_pipe` and
|
|
:meth:`BaseEventLoop.connect_write_pipe` methods to connect pipes.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Create a subprocess: low-level API using subprocess.Popen
|
|
---------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Run subprocesses asynchronously using the :mod:`subprocess` module.
|
|
|
|
.. method:: BaseEventLoop.subprocess_exec(protocol_factory, \*args, stdin=subprocess.PIPE, stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stderr=subprocess.PIPE, \*\*kwargs)
|
|
|
|
Create a subprocess from one or more string arguments (character strings or
|
|
bytes strings encoded to the :ref:`filesystem encoding
|
|
<filesystem-encoding>`), where the first string
|
|
specifies the program to execute, and the remaining strings specify the
|
|
program's arguments. (Thus, together the string arguments form the
|
|
``sys.argv`` value of the program, assuming it is a Python script.) This is
|
|
similar to the standard library :class:`subprocess.Popen` class called with
|
|
shell=False and the list of strings passed as the first argument;
|
|
however, where :class:`~subprocess.Popen` takes a single argument which is
|
|
list of strings, :func:`subprocess_exec` takes multiple string arguments.
|
|
|
|
Other parameters:
|
|
|
|
* *stdin*: Either a file-like object representing the pipe to be connected
|
|
to the subprocess's standard input stream using
|
|
:meth:`~BaseEventLoop.connect_write_pipe`, or the constant
|
|
:const:`subprocess.PIPE` (the default). By default a new pipe will be
|
|
created and connected.
|
|
|
|
* *stdout*: Either a file-like object representing the pipe to be connected
|
|
to the subprocess's standard output stream using
|
|
:meth:`~BaseEventLoop.connect_read_pipe`, or the constant
|
|
:const:`subprocess.PIPE` (the default). By default a new pipe will be
|
|
created and connected.
|
|
|
|
* *stderr*: Either a file-like object representing the pipe to be connected
|
|
to the subprocess's standard error stream using
|
|
:meth:`~BaseEventLoop.connect_read_pipe`, or one of the constants
|
|
:const:`subprocess.PIPE` (the default) or :const:`subprocess.STDOUT`.
|
|
By default a new pipe will be created and connected. When
|
|
:const:`subprocess.STDOUT` is specified, the subprocess's standard error
|
|
stream will be connected to the same pipe as the standard output stream.
|
|
|
|
* All other keyword arguments are passed to :class:`subprocess.Popen`
|
|
without interpretation, except for *bufsize*, *universal_newlines* and
|
|
*shell*, which should not be specified at all.
|
|
|
|
Returns a pair of ``(transport, protocol)``, where *transport* is an
|
|
instance of :class:`BaseSubprocessTransport`.
|
|
|
|
This method is a :ref:`coroutine <coroutine>`.
|
|
|
|
See the constructor of the :class:`subprocess.Popen` class for parameters.
|
|
|
|
.. method:: BaseEventLoop.subprocess_shell(protocol_factory, cmd, \*, stdin=subprocess.PIPE, stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stderr=subprocess.PIPE, \*\*kwargs)
|
|
|
|
Create a subprocess from *cmd*, which is a character string or a bytes
|
|
string encoded to the :ref:`filesystem encoding <filesystem-encoding>`,
|
|
using the platform's "shell" syntax. This is similar to the standard library
|
|
:class:`subprocess.Popen` class called with ``shell=True``.
|
|
|
|
See :meth:`~BaseEventLoop.subprocess_exec` for more details about
|
|
the remaining arguments.
|
|
|
|
Returns a pair of ``(transport, protocol)``, where *transport* is an
|
|
instance of :class:`BaseSubprocessTransport`.
|
|
|
|
This method is a :ref:`coroutine <coroutine>`.
|
|
|
|
See the constructor of the :class:`subprocess.Popen` class for parameters.

Constants
|
|
---------
|
|
|
|
.. data:: asyncio.subprocess.PIPE
|
|
|
|
Special value that can be used as the *stdin*, *stdout* or *stderr* argument
|
|
to :func:`create_subprocess_shell` and :func:`create_subprocess_exec` and
|
|
indicates that a pipe to the standard stream should be opened.
|
|
|
|
.. data:: asyncio.subprocess.STDOUT
|
|
|
|
Special value that can be used as the *stderr* argument to
|
|
:func:`create_subprocess_shell` and :func:`create_subprocess_exec` and
|
|
indicates that standard error should go into the same handle as standard
|
|
output.
|
|
|
|
.. data:: asyncio.subprocess.DEVNULL
|
|
|
|
Special value that can be used as the *stdin*, *stdout* or *stderr* argument
|
|
to :func:`create_subprocess_shell` and :func:`create_subprocess_exec` and
|
|
indicates that the special file :data:`os.devnull` will be used.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Process
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
.. class:: asyncio.subprocess.Process
|
|
|
|
.. attribute:: pid
|
|
|
|
The identifier of the process.
|
|
|
|
Note that if you set the *shell* argument to ``True``, this is the
|
|
process identifier of the spawned shell.
|
|
|
|
.. attribute:: returncode
|
|
|
|
Return code of the process when it exited. A ``None`` value indicates
|
|
that the process has not terminated yet.
|
|
|
|
A negative value ``-N`` indicates that the child was terminated by signal
|
|
``N`` (Unix only).
|
|
|
|
.. attribute:: stdin
|
|
|
|
Standard input stream (write), ``None`` if the process was created with
|
|
``stdin=None``.
|
|
|
|
.. attribute:: stdout
|
|
|
|
Standard output stream (read), ``None`` if the process was created with
|
|
``stdout=None``.
|
|
|
|
.. attribute:: stderr
|
|
|
|
Standard error stream (read), ``None`` if the process was created with
|
|
``stderr=None``.
|
|
|
|
.. method:: communicate(input=None)
|
|
|
|
Interact with process: Send data to stdin. Read data from stdout and
|
|
stderr, until end-of-file is reached. Wait for process to terminate.
|
|
The optional *input* argument should be data to be sent to the child
|
|
process, or ``None``, if no data should be sent to the child. The type
|
|
of *input* must be bytes.
|
|
|
|
:meth:`communicate` returns a tuple ``(stdoutdata, stderrdata)``.
|
|
|
|
Note that if you want to send data to the process's stdin, you need to
|
|
create the Process 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.
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
|
|
The data read is buffered in memory, so do not use this method if the
|
|
data size is large or unlimited.
|
|
|
|
This method is a :ref:`coroutine <coroutine>`.
|
|
|
|
.. method:: kill()
|
|
|
|
Kills the child. On Posix OSs the function sends :py:data:`SIGKILL` to
|
|
the child. On Windows :meth:`kill` is an alias for :meth:`terminate`.
|
|
|
|
.. method:: send_signal(signal)
|
|
|
|
Sends the signal *signal* to the child process.
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
|
|
On Windows, :py:data:`SIGTERM` is an alias for :meth:`terminate`.
|
|
``CTRL_C_EVENT`` and ``CTRL_BREAK_EVENT`` can be sent to processes
|
|
started with a *creationflags* parameter which includes
|
|
``CREATE_NEW_PROCESS_GROUP``.
|
|
|
|
.. method:: terminate()
|
|
|
|
Stop the child. On Posix OSs the method sends :py:data:`signal.SIGTERM`
|
|
to the child. On Windows the Win32 API function
|
|
:c:func:`TerminateProcess` is called to stop the child.
|
|
|
|
.. method:: wait():
|
|
|
|
Wait for child process to terminate. Set and return :attr:`returncode`
|
|
attribute.
|
|
|
|
This method is a :ref:`coroutine <coroutine>`.
|
|
|
|
|

Example
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
Implement a function similar to :func:`subprocess.getstatusoutput`, except that
|
|
it does not use a shell. Get the output of the "python -m platform" command and
|
|
display the output::
|
|
|
|
import asyncio
|
|
import os
|
|
import sys
|
|
from asyncio import subprocess
|
|
|
|
@asyncio.coroutine
|
|
def getstatusoutput(*args):
|
|
proc = yield from asyncio.create_subprocess_exec(
|
|
*args,
|
|
stdout=subprocess.PIPE,
|
|
stderr=subprocess.STDOUT)
|
|
try:
|
|
stdout, _ = yield from proc.communicate()
|
|
except:
|
|
proc.kill()
|
|
yield from proc.wait()
|
|
raise
|
|
exitcode = yield from proc.wait()
|
|
return (exitcode, stdout)
|
|
|
|
if os.name == 'nt':
|
|
loop = asyncio.ProactorEventLoop()
|
|
asyncio.set_event_loop(loop)
|
|
else:
|
|
loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
|
|
coro = getstatusoutput(sys.executable, '-m', 'platform')
|
|
exitcode, stdout = loop.run_until_complete(coro)
|
|
if not exitcode:
|
|
stdout = stdout.decode('ascii').rstrip()
|
|
print("Platform: %s" % stdout)
|
|
else:
|
|
print("Python failed with exit code %s:" % exitcode, flush=True)
|
|
sys.stdout.buffer.write(stdout)
|
|
sys.stdout.buffer.flush()
|
|
loop.close()
|
