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
只是想写些简单点的东西。
#!/usr/bin/python
from subprocess import Popen, PIPE
import datetime
import time
popen = Popen(["/bin/sleep", "10"]);
pid = popen.pid
sttime = time.time();
waittime = 3
print "Start time %s"%(sttime)
while True:
popen.poll();
time.sleep(1)
rcode = popen.returncode
now = time.time();
if [ rcode is None ] and [ now > (sttime + waittime) ] :
print "Killing it now"
popen.kill()
其他回答
有时需要处理(ffmpeg)而不使用communication()，在这种情况下需要异步超时，这是使用ttldict实现的一种实用方法
PIP安装ttldict
from ttldict import TTLOrderedDict
sp_timeout = TTLOrderedDict(default_ttl=10)
def kill_on_timeout(done, proc):
while True:
now = time.time()
if sp_timeout.get('exp_time') == None:
proc.kill()
break
process = subprocess.Popen(cmd, stdout=subprocess.PIPE, text=True, stderr=subprocess.STDOUT)
sp_timeout['exp_time'] = time.time()
done = Event()
watcher = Thread(target=kill_on_timeout, args=(done, process))
watcher.daemon = True
watcher.start()
done.set()
for line in process.stdout:
.......
Jcollado的答案可以使用线程来简化。定时器类:
import shlex
from subprocess import Popen, PIPE
from threading import Timer
def run(cmd, timeout_sec):
proc = Popen(shlex.split(cmd), stdout=PIPE, stderr=PIPE)
timer = Timer(timeout_sec, proc.kill)
try:
timer.start()
stdout, stderr = proc.communicate()
finally:
timer.cancel()
# Examples: both take 1 second
run("sleep 1", 5) # process ends normally at 1 second
run("sleep 5", 1) # timeout happens at 1 second
虽然我还没有广泛地研究它，但我在ActiveState中发现的这个装饰器似乎对这类事情非常有用。伴随着subprocess.Popen(…， close_fds=True)，至少我已经准备好在Python中编写shell脚本。
timeout现在由子进程模块中的call()和communication()支持(从Python3.3开始):
import subprocess
subprocess.call("command", timeout=20, shell=True)
这将调用该命令并引发异常
subprocess.TimeoutExpired
如果命令在20秒后还没有完成。
然后你可以处理异常来继续你的代码，就像这样:
try:
subprocess.call("command", timeout=20, shell=True)
except subprocess.TimeoutExpired:
# insert code here
希望这能有所帮助。
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)
