我写了一本小图书馆来帮助这个使用案例:

HTTPS://pypi.org/project/citizenshell/

可以使用安装

pip install citizenshell

然后使用如下:

from citizenshell import sh
assert sh("echo Hello World") == "Hello World"

您可以将标准输出与标准错误分开,并以以下方式提取输出代码:

result = sh(">&2 echo error && echo output && exit 13")
assert result.stdout() == ["output"]
assert result.stderr() == ["error"]
assert result.exit_code() == 13

而且很酷的是,在开始处理输出之前,你不需要等待底层的裂缝出发:

for line in sh("for i in 1 2 3 4; do echo -n 'It is '; date +%H:%M:%S; sleep 1; done", wait=False)
    print ">>>", line + "!"

将按行按行按行按行按行按行按行按行按行。

>>> It is 14:24:52!
>>> It is 14:24:53!
>>> It is 14:24:54!
>>> It is 14:24:55!

2015 年更新: Python 3.5 添加了 subprocess.run 比 subprocess.Popen 更容易使用。

>>> subprocess.run(["ls", "-l"])  # doesn't capture output
CompletedProcess(args=['ls', '-l'], returncode=0)

>>> subprocess.run("exit 1", shell=True, check=True)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  ...
subprocess.CalledProcessError: Command 'exit 1' returned non-zero exit status 1

>>> subprocess.run(["ls", "-l", "/dev/null"], capture_output=True)
CompletedProcess(args=['ls', '-l', '/dev/null'], returncode=0,
stdout=b'crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 1, 3 Jan 23 16:23 /dev/null\n', stderr=b'')

典型的实施:

import subprocess

p = subprocess.Popen('ls', shell=True, stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stderr=subprocess.STDOUT)
for line in p.stdout.readlines():
    print line,
retval = p.wait()

事实上,你可以简单地忽略这些参数(stdout=和stderr=)并将像os.system()一样行事。

最简单的方式运行任何命令,并获得结果:

from commands import getstatusoutput

try:
    return getstatusoutput("ls -ltr")
except Exception, e:
    return None

还有铅

>>> from plumbum import local
>>> ls = local["ls"]
>>> ls
LocalCommand(<LocalPath /bin/ls>)
>>> ls()
u'build.py\ndist\ndocs\nLICENSE\nplumbum\nREADME.rst\nsetup.py\ntests\ntodo.txt\n'
>>> notepad = local["c:\\windows\\notepad.exe"]
>>> notepad()                                   # Notepad window pops up
u''                                             # Notepad window is closed by user, command returns

对于 Python 3.5+ 而言,建议您从子过程模块中使用运行函数,这将返回一个完整的过程对象,您可以轻松地获得输出和返回代码。

from subprocess import PIPE, run

command = ['echo', 'hello']
result = run(command, stdout=PIPE, stderr=PIPE, universal_newlines=True)
print(result.returncode, result.stdout, result.stderr)
